[04:55] <Unit193> Erm sorry.  Wrong up-enter!

[05:56] <wintermu1e> does the interfaces file have support for bonding?
[07:34] <kshahnjd> mailman or postfix?

[05:59] <sofval> hello
[05:59] <sofval> i have 7.4 ubuntu
[05:59] <sofval> is it good for server with workstation?
[06:00] <ivoks> you have 7.04 :)
[06:01] <ivoks> you mean having workstation on server?
[06:01] <sofval> i have ubuntu 7.4
[06:02] <sofval> i want her to be the server
[06:02] <sofval> and my workstations runs xp
[06:02] <ivoks> sure
[06:03] <ivoks> but, there is no 7.4 version, only 7.04, which was released in april, 2007. - hence the version - 7.04
[06:04] <sofval> yeah 7.04
[06:04] <sofval> sorry
[06:06] <ivoks> it's ok :)
[06:07] <sofval> ok
[06:07] <mralphabet> sofval: you can do whatever you want, it's your machine
[06:08] <sofval> ok
[06:09] <sofval> so is it okay to run 7.04 as server?
[06:10] <ivoks> sofval: yes, there is ubuntu-server 7.04, so i guess it should work :)
[06:10] <ivoks> otherwise it wouldn't get released :)
[06:10] <sofval> how to setup static ip to ubuntu?
[06:10] <sofval> and share internet
[06:10] <sofval> i have router and switch
[06:13] <mralphabet> if you have a router, why do you need to share internet through the ubuntu machine?
[06:13] <sofval> i want ubuntu to manager everything
[06:13] <sofval> like monitor the clients
[06:13] <sofval> block the ports
[06:13] <sofval> block some porn websites
[06:13] <sofval> and block youtube or other killing bandwidth
[06:14] <Kamping_Kaiser> sofval, dansguardian ftw
[06:14] <BFTD> DANSGUADRIAN!!!
[06:14] <BFTD> yeah
[06:14] <BFTD> I need to find a windows version of dansguardian
[06:15] <Kamping_Kaiser> nah, you need an ubuntu gateway ;)
[06:15] <sofval> ok
[06:15] <sofval> i quit freebsd
[06:15] <sofval> its hard for me
[06:15] <sofval> how to install ubuntu in freebsd box?
[06:15] <sofval> just insert the disk?
[06:15] <sofval> and primary reboot to dvd?
[06:15] <sofval> or cd?
[06:16] <BFTD> yes
[06:16] <BFTD> whats wrong with BSD?
[06:17] <sofval> im tired
[06:17] <sofval> i dont like it
[06:17] <sofval> its hard
[06:18] <ivoks> hehe
[06:19] <ivoks> don't expect ubuntu-server to be point and click
[06:21] <BFTD> ubuntu server...I didn't have to do a thing
[06:21] <BFTD> then again that's what happens when you have someone else set it up
[07:24] <ScottK> !question | johnc4510
[07:24] <ubotu> johnc4510: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:24] <johnc4510> ScottK: i have old pentium 166 mmx with 64mb ram
[07:25] <johnc4510> can i make a server out of it
[07:28] <ScottK> Hmmm
[07:28] <soren> johnc4510: How much hard disk space?
[07:28] <johnc4510> not asking for support, just is it possible    20gig
[07:29] <ScottK> Should be able to.
[07:29] <soren> johnc4510: I think that could work.
[07:29] <ScottK> Minimum install requirement for xubuntu is 64mb http://www.xubuntu.org/get#requirements
[07:29] <ScottK> So server should work too I would think.
[07:29] <soren> I believe I've made Ubuntu work with 32 MB or RAM once. Just for kicks.:)
[07:30] <soren> So 64MB should be doable.

[10:14] <nealmcb> no one will know if they can help you unless you tell us a lot more and ask more specific questions.  see http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxHelpAsk.html

[00:51] <diddledani> I kinda wanna buy an m1 macmini
[00:52] <diddledani> to go with my m1 mba
[00:52] <daftykins> one's enough!
[02:27] <penguin42> heck, heavy sleet here just gone through
[09:25] <davef> diddledani: no, you don't.
[13:27] <daftykins> crikey, heavey winds today across the channel rocks
[13:28] <davef> windy down here in sussex
[13:35] <daftykins> oops -e
[13:43] <penguin42> was up here at about 1-3am - heavy sleet/snow around 2
[13:44] <daftykins> ooh
[13:49] <davef> "snow" lol
[13:51] <daftykins> shush you ;)
[13:52] <penguin42> I was surprised that it wasn't white out here this morning
[16:51] <penguin42> yum, hot crumpets
[19:48] <juglugs1974> Just windy here in Plymouth
[20:04] <daftykins> must be the windchill factor down on the seafront, as with here - Guernsey
[20:21] <juglugs1974> Ummm, I assume someone knows that the http://ubuntu-uk.org just goes to the default nginx page??
[21:02] <penguin42> that seems to have Canonical's own DNS


[21:01] <RRAARR> I haven't caught up in recent development of pcmanfm-qt, but can pcmanfm-qt access network drives such as a samba server?
