| 07:15.41 | Leeds | the HK market, incidentally, which still takes a break for lunch :-) |

| 09:01.11 | pawel | just put debian on sparc64 first box, another 12 to follow :) |
| 09:01.18 | pawel | crossover from Solaris :) |
| 09:01.24 | morsing | :( |
| 09:01.30 | morsing | Why the downgrade? |
| 09:02.19 | pawel | consolidation |
| 09:02.23 | morsing | :-/ |
| 09:02.38 | pawel | easier to manage by 1st and 2nd line |

| 09:03.11 | morsing | :-/ |
| 09:03.28 | wethrin | Could be worse. Could be RedHAt |
| 09:03.55 | pawel | aurora is now based on fedora |
| 09:04.01 | pawel | and way behind at the moment |
| 09:04.26 | pawel | if it was at least a bit more more up2date, it would have been ... |
| 09:05.17 | pawel | debian sparc installation is broken anyway |
| 09:05.18 | z00dax | pawel: up2date in what sense ? just running the same packages as latest fedora builds ? |
| 09:06.34 | pawel | z00dax: more less, not just like fedora, but more mainstream revisions, stable branch is old |

| 09:08.12 | wethrin | *BSD! |
| 09:08.14 | pawel | z00dax: didn't even know centos has a sparc port |
| 09:08.24 | z00dax | there isnt one, its semi baked. |
| 09:08.29 | z00dax | pawel: sparc.centos.org |
| 09:08.53 | z00dax | its installable, but is not updated. There are some issues that need working out. eg. OOo is semi unhappy, as is firefox |
| 09:08.59 | pawel | wethrin: again, won't find many help desk guys who can click it |
| 09:09.41 | pawel | z00dax: I'll have a look |

| 16:54.33 | Leeds | oh, don't worry about that :-) |
| 16:55.34 | Leeds | just 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) |
| 16:55.56 | wethrin | cool |
| 16:56.24 | Leeds | they 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 |
| 16:56.43 | Leeds | anyway... one of the three coming out next month is Andy Parsons :-) |
| 16:57.26 | Leeds | it'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 |
