| 10:23.38 | gr0undhog | moin :) |
| 10:25.58 | gr0undhog | Mmm, now I know what that button's for ... |
| 10:27.13 | yaMatt | the disconnect button? :) |
| 10:27.50 | gr0undhog | Hi yaMatt - yup, learning curve and all that ... |
| 10:30.23 | gr0undhog | Here comes another silly question: if a Debian-installed pc is donated to a school, how/who should I say the recipients should contact for Linux advice? |
| 10:30.40 | gr0undhog | Gllug? |
| 10:31.30 | AndyMillar | the school should probably wipe it and install their standard images on it |
| 10:32.00 | gr0undhog | Yeah, I expected a windozing ... |
| 10:32.30 | yaMatt | assuming they keep it debian, do they have a person technically capable of using Linux there? |
| 10:33.47 | gr0undhog | I very much doubt it - other than not too long ago I was more ignorant of Linux than at present. But I have learned a bit. |
| 10:35.01 | yaMatt | I don't see why gllug couldn't be their second point of contact if they're happy to use mailing lists and irc. You should be their first. Simply because we couldn't guarntee a response |
| 10:35.06 | gr0undhog | I'm not volunteering - I'm suggesting that even teachers can learn ... :) |
| 10:35.56 | yaMatt | absolutely, but I wouldn't want them to think of gllug as some kind of free, available 24hour technical support |
| 10:36.16 | yaMatt | I'm very interested in going in to schools and training centers to help people though |
| 10:36.45 | yaMatt | a mentor system would work better I think |
| 10:36.50 | gr0undhog | Hold up - I'm a somewhat decrepit old fart so can't get too involved. But I would suggest gllug anyway, yeah. |
| 10:37.51 | gr0undhog | However, yaMatt, I'll pass your nick on to anyone who asks onwards. OK? |
| 10:38.05 | yaMatt | yeah, definitely, or e-mail |
| 10:38.09 | yaMatt | mattcopp@gmail.com |
| 10:39.32 | gr0undhog | Okeydokey - and thanks for yet again reminding me how wise it is to use gllug! |
| 10:39.47 | yaMatt | heheh |
| 10:39.55 | yaMatt | no problem |
| 10:41.46 | gr0undhog | OK, my day's made. I'll settle down now to watch the conversation for the inevitable very strange humour ... |
| 10:42.52 | yaMatt | yeah, just wait 'til dick_turpin turns up, then things get very strange |
| 10:43.13 | gr0undhog | Keerekt! |
| 10:43.25 | yaMatt | gr0undhog, what's the spec of the box you're donating btw? |
| 10:45.52 | gr0undhog | A HP pc, a model - the spec I've now removed from my records as it's already gone ... it's about four years old - and I once produced a newspaper on it! |
| 10:46.48 | yaMatt | ah, reasonably good then |
| 10:47.24 | yaMatt | I'm doing something similar but I'm donating mine to an organisation in Hackney that teaches older people to use computers, though I was concerned about the spec |
| 10:49.02 | gr0undhog | Hi again, yaMatt, I've checked back on my e-mail regarding the kit: a Pavilion G5345uk. Any assist? |
| 10:49.48 | yaMatt | I love googling for HP model numbers they always come up with good results |
| 10:50.03 | yaMatt | oh yeah, that is better than mine :D |
| 10:51.21 | gr0undhog | By the way, tell elder peeps in that Hackney crew that I'm 78 and have become used to computers before AND after a stroke ... |
| 10:52.25 | yaMatt | heheh, I will certainly mention it |
| 10:53.09 | gr0undhog | I'd better shut up now, I have to go make lunch for SWMBO - I'm so obedient :) |
| 10:53.33 | yaMatt | sure :) |
