03:08.51dick_turpinWhat? No greeting from morsing?
03:11.19LeedsI don't see morsing speaking here...
03:14.40an0keymaybe he's asleep?
03:19.32an0keyis there an equiv of yum groupinstall "Development Tools" for debian?
03:20.26dick_turpinI should be asleep too :-(
03:20.43an0keysame here, but up at 5, and got engrossed in playing with xen
03:21.21dick_turpin3.20am here woke up at 2.15 wide awake
03:22.26dick_turpinSorry I know very little about Debian or .deb :-(
03:22.28an0keyyeh 3.20 here...
03:23.08an0keysame here, I mostly only use RH/cent/Fedora... but always a good learning curve, could have installed centos + xen, but thought i'd force myself to learn deb
03:25.12dick_turpinThere's too much to learn in the opensource/Linux world you'll end up like me Jack of all trades master of none
03:25.56an0keywell this is the problem, not sure where i want to focus myself these days, both just in interest and career... i find far too much interesting
03:28.09dick_turpinYep, you get sucked in then go "Ooh that looks fun" you end up with 30 odd unfinished projects
03:30.00an0keyoh yes, i thought it was a good idea to setup a todo list, what a mistake, its just turned into a list of things ive gone ooooh thats cool, add that to the list to learn/play with
03:30.02an0keyfail
03:33.22dick_turpinI used to distro hop too but the realised basically there's no difference, they all have the same stuff really some are good some are bad but they all have prety much the same apps suite
03:34.11dick_turpinpretty
03:36.36an0keyindeed, the main reason i chose to try out another, is just to have the background knowledge, so i can support if needed on the odd occasion debian pops up at work
03:36.56dick_turpinGood idea
03:37.25an0keyotherwise i sit there like a complete spac going, whereis ifcfg-eth0 FFS :P
03:41.15dick_turpinDunno, hang on I'll Google for it :-D
03:41.31an0keylol
03:42.36dick_turpinYou laugh I know a few Sysadmins who have to do that for some of the most basic things, failing that mailing lists or IRC
03:44.45an0keythe best failures are when you look at the over complicated problem, and it turns out to be something stupidly simple
03:46.52dick_turpinBeen there, got the tee shirt. Right coffee, back in a bit
03:47.04an0keyyes please, two sugars :P

09:24.27ChoHagCan you run exec in bash and tell it what to set $0 to?
09:24.51morsingChoHag: *sigh*  Morning
09:30.26ChoHagI can do perl -e '($name, $bin) = (shift, shift); exec $bin ($name, @ARGV)' [name] [app] [args]
09:30.37morsingChoHag: Twat
09:30.39ChoHagBut it seems a bit dumb to load perl just to do an exec.
