09:03.11morsing:-/
09:03.28wethrinCould be worse. Could be RedHAt
09:03.55pawelaurora is now based on fedora
09:04.01paweland way behind at the moment
09:04.26pawelif it was at least a bit more more up2date, it would have been ...
09:05.17paweldebian sparc installation is broken anyway
09:05.18z00daxpawel: up2date in what sense ? just running the same packages as latest fedora builds ?
09:06.34pawelz00dax: more less, not just like fedora, but more mainstream revisions, stable branch is old

09:07.30z00daxpawel: if you have a bit of time to help, the centos sparc port could use some eyes and h/w
09:07.32paweldebian seem to be the best choice, apart of the installation, everything else is working really well
09:08.12wethrin*BSD!
09:08.14pawelz00dax: didn't even know centos has a sparc port
09:08.24z00daxthere isnt one, its semi baked.
09:08.29z00daxpawel: sparc.centos.org
09:08.53z00daxits installable, but is not updated. There are some issues that need working out. eg. OOo is semi unhappy, as is firefox
09:08.59pawelwethrin: again, won't find many help desk guys who can click it
09:09.41pawelz00dax: I'll have a look
09:09.53z00daxpawel: thanks. dont use it in production as yet though.
09:10.03z00dax( since its not getting updates )
09:10.18z00daxif you want to join the effort from the -devel side, let me know, I can email you the info you'd need

16:53.46Leedswethrin: ping?
16:53.58wethrinpong
16:54.03wethrinI didn't get a chance to send them out today
16:54.05wethrinSorry
16:54.33Leedsoh, don't worry about that :-)
16:55.34Leedsjust wanted to say... I've been to a comedy club tonight, a once-a-month-for-three-nights thing - they bring out a bunch of (mainly) British comedians, and there's a little English-expat Asian comedy circuit they get shipping around (and presumably relatively well-paid)
16:55.56wethrincool
16:56.24Leedsthey must have taken about 5 grand tonight, makes 15 grand for the three nights in HK - except that they do 2-for-1 for online bookings for Thursday night
16:56.43Leedsanyway... one of the three coming out next month is Andy Parsons :-)
16:57.26Leedsit's a pretty 'intimate' club - actually an Indian restaurant with all the tables taken out - and I wonder what he'd be like doing stand-up, at a distance of 2-3m
17:21.54wethrinhe'd be very good
17:21.57wethrinAnd I'd be a bit jealous
