15:07.57undertakingyouYorokobi: hows it going?
15:08.36Yorokobiundertakingyou, I'm well enough, I suppose. Too little sleep but caffiene can take care of that. :)
15:09.37undertakingyouYorokobi: Aww, the beauty of caffeine.  I haven't slept well for a week, sounds like I need more caffeine
15:10.26undertakingyouTo eat yourself?  Yuck!
15:10.34YorokobiI love pickled beets.
15:10.58undertakingyoulol that is funny, you and my mom and grandma.  I guess someone has to though.
15:13.26YorokobiIs there a decent CD burning package (other than K3b)?
15:13.56undertakingyouhave you tried bake?  at least I think that is what it is called.
15:14.35Yorokobibake - yet another Make replacement (python)
15:14.48Yorokobiah, gnomebaker
15:15.08undertakingyouThat's it.  Tried that?  Whats wrong with k3b?
15:16.05Yorokobimy workstation has one of those crappy Dell-branded SCSI controllers that interfere with the PATA CDR. K3b locks my computer up
15:17.09undertakingyouthat sucks.  I like K3b a lot.  The only complaint I have is that it won't copy copyrighted DVD.
15:17.45YorokobiTime to see of gnomebaker is going to work ...
15:19.54undertakingyouYorokobi: Was there success?
15:19.59YorokobiSo far

15:32.50Hundingnice...they have Snownews listed :)
15:54.28Zelutfor .iso I always use nautilus right-click, write to disk.
15:54.42Zelut...for audio CD, etc.. actually I never make audio CDs :)
15:58.06maquisi use cdrecord for .iso
15:58.15maquisi don't make audio cds either
15:59.19undertakingyouFor ISO's and Audio I use K3b.  I like that it gives you an MD5 sum before burning the ISO
15:59.59maquisundertakingyou: isn't k3b slow?

16:00.27undertakingyouNo, I don't think so.  I what way do you mean?
16:00.49maquisi recall trying it once... it took a long time to load up the gui and all that
16:01.21maquisand i recall that it required kde...
16:02.11maquisthe only other thing i remember about it is that it took me a long time to find everything i needed...
16:02.13ZelutI'm sure it requires kde-libs and other junk like that.
16:02.26Zelutcdrecord is really all you need though :)
16:04.30undertakingyouIt does  require KDE libs.  But that is ok, so does other stuff that I use, like Amarok, oh and KDE.
16:05.43maquisundertakingyou: does k3b (and other kde apps) take less time to load if KDE is running?
16:06.29undertakingyouI run KDE on my laptop and gnome on my desktop.  I haven't noticed any difference between the two either way.
16:07.05maquishmm...
16:07.08maquisok
16:08.40undertakingyouRecently K3b went to "stable" and I do like that better.  It is faster and has more of the features that someone would look for as a Nero replacement.
16:09.32maquisnero?
16:09.57undertakingyouThe fairly popular windows burning software.
16:11.40Hundingmaquis: heh...you so not a M$ person
16:15.28maquisHunding: that would be correct... :)
16:17.38undertakingyouSorry, I thought that would be common knowledge.  Needless to say K3b is nice, and I don't think there is any slowdown
16:21.42Hundingundertakingyou: for most people it is...there are those rare people that manage to isolate themselves from the M$...I'm still trying to figure out how to do that myself.
16:22.44undertakingyouI would sure like to.  At work though there is an overwhelming evil that I must confront M$ at all times.  At home, the only thing I can't get to work is my scanner.  Otherwise M$ free.
16:23.01HundingI suppose sitting here on an XP machine talking through putty is *probably* not helping my endevour
16:24.49Hundingundertakingyou: I am down to one windows machine in my world...and that is only because I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get .NET tools and framework on my linux...*YET* :p
16:25.50HundingI've bricked my testing laptop twice in attempts to make it work
16:25.58[phoenyx]Hunding: how far along is the mono project in that regard?
16:27.08Hunding[phoenyx]: well they have managed to get the apps to work in linux...but the rest is still up in the air as far as I 'm concerned...as I do have dealines...and I can't afford to mess with it all the time
16:29.15undertakingyouHunding: Tell me when and where you take it.  I need one too.
16:30.09Hundingundertakingyou: well if you find one you keep me posted as well. Self taching is a nice pace, but I *KNOW* there is so much  more.
16:30.39Hundingeverytime I talk to maquis, she points something new out, and usually makes my life a little more easy
16:30.54maquisHunding: glad to be able to help :)
16:31.06maquisHunding: you bricked your laptop?
16:31.11undertakingyoumaquis: do I understand that you are up in Seatle?
16:31.15Hundingnotice I said 'usually' maquis ;P
16:31.16maquisundertakingyou: yup
16:31.24maquisHunding: :)
16:31.29maquisundertakingyou: why?
16:32.04undertakingyouI used to live in the Seattle area.  More specifically I served an LDS mission there.
16:32.37maquisundertakingyou: Hunding: i use windows on one of my 2 boxes at work... that doesn't mean i know how to do much beyond outlook and putty :)
16:32.42maquisundertakingyou: really? which mission?
16:32.46maquisand how long ago?
16:33.30maquisi've lived here my whole life (aside from the years i was at school in utah)
16:34.14undertakingyoumaquis: The Washington Seattle mission, from 2001 to 2003.  I served on Vashon Island, in the Renton Stake on the Kent and Renton border, in Burien around 3 tree point, and Orting, near Puyallup .
16:37.29maquisundertakingyou: ah...
16:37.47maquisi live in the everett mission
16:39.09undertakingyoumaquis: That's ok, I still love the Great Northwest.  redbeard told me that you lived up there at a UTOS meeting.  I have wanted to ask you ever since.
16:39.18maquis:)
16:39.27maquisyes... i'm the resident non-resident in utos :)
16:40.16undertakingyouWell that is cool.  What school did you go to here in Utah?
16:40.37maquisbyu
16:41.44undertakingyouWell, that is too bad.  
16:41.50undertakingyou:)  I hate BYU
16:42.35Yorokobioh, don't be a hater, undertakingyou
16:43.34undertakingyouWhat can I say?  :)
16:44.37maquisundertakingyou: why?
16:46.24undertakingyouI blame it on growing up here in Utah.  High school was nothing but members that ticked me off when they would smoke pot on Saturday and pass sacrament sunday.  Also, my wife works at the U.
16:47.20maquisundertakingyou: that sucks...  
16:47.33maquisout here, in my experience, things are different...
16:48.21undertakingyouI really liked how wards were there in Seattle.  Here things are different.

16:54.41Utah_Davedoes anyone here know if it's possible to set up an email server without a domain name?
16:54.59YorokobiUtah_Dave, for local delivery?
16:55.02Utah_DaveAnd send emails like this;    dave@192.168.1.1
16:55.33Utah_Davewell, between machines on a private network. Not touching the internet, and I can't touch the dns
16:55.34maquisUtah_Dave: sure... although that one's only going to work inside your local network
16:56.01maquisUtah_Dave: as far as the computer's concerned, after it runs off to the dns server to get your ip address, that *is* what your email address looks like more or less
16:56.22Utah_Davethat's what I thought.
16:56.29maquisthe computer doesn't care what your hostname is...
16:56.36maquisor what your domain name is
16:56.40maquisit just goes by ip address

16:57.16Utah_DaveGoogle just comes back with domain registration ads and such
16:57.25maquisUtah_Dave: you do need to have a static ip address...
16:57.30maquisotherwise it doesn't work
16:57.36Utah_Daveyeah, I have that
16:57.41maquisadn if it's a 192.168.*.* address, it's internal only

17:16.20Utah_Davethanks for the help.
17:16.52Yorokobipostfix.org has links to several
17:34.03Hundingy is it that "smoking pot" is considered so awful, and drinking booze is considered "normal"...how many lives/familes have been ruined over pot??
17:34.34Hundingprobaly not the place for this...sorry.
17:34.45undertakingyouI agree, I think that both are bad.  I was just using an example.
17:36.21Hundingbefore you jump on the bandwagon of horrible pot heads...do a little research into it...the US gov't is the ones that have been jamming this propoganda of how bad pot is...
17:37.11maquisHunding: i've seen what pot did to some kids at my hs
17:37.21maquispersonally, i think it's all bad
17:37.25maquisbut that's just me
17:38.40undertakingyouMy brother used a lot of pot, my uncle too.  I think I have my own opinions about the evils.  Although the US government does do a lot to push pot forward.
17:40.23HundingHEMP is one of the greatest known natural materials on earth...
17:40.23Hundingit can be used for anything!! Paper, building materials, medicine, the list goes on and on
17:40.25maquisbracelets...
17:40.39Hundingand is by far the fastest renewable resource we have in that cailber
17:41.26Hundinghowever... because the gov't gave up control in the 30's and have not figured out how to tax the hell out of us with it...it is BAD
17:42.59*** join/#ubuntu-utah undertakingyou (n=will@70.97.48.98)
17:43.18Hundingbut ya'll realize that pot is NOT illeagle in the state of Utah
17:44.03YorokobiIt doesn't need to be. Federal laws take care of making it illegal.
17:44.09Hundingyou just need to get tax stamp... :) good luck with that
17:44.20undertakingyouThat's all well and good, doesn't change the fact that my brothers life was very messed up do to pot use.
17:45.19Hundingundertakingyou: I would not dare question you about your brother, but I would almost doubt that your brother's issues can be blmed on the pot and not attributed to some underlying cause
17:45.33undertakingyouThis is a sad discussion none the less.  We could substitute anything in my previous statement.  My complaint is the fakeness, the I am so righteous and yet I do these things that I say are wrong.
17:46.02undertakingyouHunding: I don't mean to be defensive, I know there is no harm in our discussion. and I take no offense

17:49.26Yorokobiundertakingyou, that was a subtle-yet-ineffective way of indicating things here were a bit off topic. I find it more polite than jbot's off topic rejoinder

18:16.20opapoFirefox crashes with no stack trace
18:16.37opapoI followed the instructions on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs?action=show&redirect=DebuggingFirefox
18:17.50opapowhen I do "bt full"
18:18.14opapoLike it says, I get "No stack."
18:18.51opapoAfter the crash it says "Program exited with code 01."
18:34.44Zelutherlo: pong
18:37.08ZelutI just realized you can ssh tunnel vnc within vnc.

18:41.35maquisgdb
18:41.42maquisopapo: gdb, + break on exit
18:43.42opapo"+ break on exit" I don't understand
18:44.07maquisopapo: i think it's _exit
18:44.15maquisbut you want to break whenever it tries to exit
18:44.26opapohow
18:44.37maquisi think you can do 'break _exit' and 'break __throw', and that'll cause it to break on exits and exceptions
18:44.50maquisopapo: you ever used gdb before?
18:44.51opapoI can show you the output of "firefox -g 2>&1 | tee ~/Desktop/gdb-firefox.log"
18:45.16opapoI followed the instructions on "https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs?action=show&redirect=DebuggingFirefox"
18:45.23opapoThere is a section on Crashes
18:45.25maquisopapo: pastebin for that output
18:46.55opapohttp://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25272/
18:47.46maquisopapo: they're doing rather different stuff from what i'm suggesting... i don't know if maybe this will take way too long (firefox is large), but you could try running firefox-dbg inside of gdb, break when it tries to exit, and then get a backtrace of where it is when it exits
18:48.13opapook
18:51.49opapohow do you run firefox-dbg?
18:51.58opapoI have it installed: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25274/
18:52.05opapobut I can't run it
18:52.11maquisopapo: why not?
18:52.12herloZelut: pong
18:52.48maquisopapo: ah... looks like what you want is firefox -g
18:52.55maquisthat makes it use firefox-dbg instead of firefox
18:53.02opapook
18:53.05maquissorry... i didn't read the wiki page carefully enough
18:53.42opapoI use "firefox -g 2>&1 | tee ~/Desktop/gdb-firefox.log"
18:54.06opapojust like they say and there is no stack trace.
18:54.49opapoI did see a bug for
18:55.02opapolibflash-mozplugin
18:55.20opapowhich I have installed, but I don't know if that is what is causing the crash
18:55.32opapoI am going to www.imdb.com when it crashes
18:55.33maquisopapo: file `which firefox`
18:56.08maquisopapo: if there isn't a stacktrace, it's probably exiting prematurely instead of really crashing
18:56.30maquisrunning it inside of gdb would let you debug a premature exit...
18:57.16herloopapo: you can also use strace -p `pidof firefox`
18:57.27nurnyou guys want to see something awesome?
18:57.30nurnhttp://burnthegreat.net/article/20/server-fun
18:57.34herloopapo: or use
18:57.41herloopapo: strace firefox
18:59.56herloopapo: you can also try firefox -safemode
19:00.12opapoThis is what I get in gdb that doesn't show up in the file
19:00.13opapohttp://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25278/
19:00.42herloI find that sometimes when a particular site makes ff crash, I run ff in safemode and close that site and restart
19:02.40opapoThis is what happens when I start ff in safemode:

19:04.07maquisthat sounds useful
19:04.26opapoI will try --sync again, but last time I got the same error
19:04.41maquisopapo: it will give you the same error if you run --sync normally
19:05.03maquisbut if you use --sync inside of gdb, and break where they tell you to, it should give you some useful information
19:06.12maquisherlo: what would you do?
19:06.24maquisperhaps i'm going the overkill road...
19:06.28herlomaquis: I stated it above
19:06.30Zelutherlo: just heard I'm going to cork in two weeks.
19:06.33maquisstrace/
19:06.34maquis?
19:06.43maquisthat's a reasonable thing to try too
19:06.44herlomaquis: or letrace
19:06.50herloZelut: are you excited
19:06.56maquisi generally haven't gotten much information from strace in the past...
19:07.05herlomaquis: s/le/l/g
19:07.10opapoHerlo: I can pastebin the 9999 pages of strace if you want
19:07.17maquisopapo: you could try strace and ltrace with the --sync option
19:07.21Zelutherlo: sounds tiring after three weeks already on the road :)
19:07.27maquisopapo: you'd want to primarily look at the last bit
19:07.38maquisprobably the last page would be the only part that'd be useful....
19:07.50Zelutbrb
19:07.52herloopapo: I just need the last bits
19:08.18opapothere is mention of loading an swf
19:08.22herloits probably a library call so use ltrace
19:08.54herloopapo: yeah, that's probably causing it.  did you try -safemode yet?
19:09.33opapoI tried firefox -safemode
19:09.36opaposame thing
19:09.50herloZelut: just wanted to give you a heads up on Ireland...
19:10.51herloopapo: I had it wrong.  Its firefox -safe-mode
19:11.21opapothere is a window that pops up
19:11.40undertakingyouopapo: one day Firefox acted up on me. I saved the contents of .mozilla/firefox and then removed and reinstalled.  Maybe you will have to do that.
19:11.46herloopapo: with -safe-mode ?
19:11.58opapoherlo: yes
19:12.06opapoit is for firefox safe mode
19:12.12herloopapo: does it pop up and then go away?
19:12.14herlo\
19:12.36opapoI can disable certain settings
19:12.57opaposhould I continue without disabling anything?
19:13.00herloopapo: disable everything
19:13.30herloopapo: sorry, in ireland and my net access is a bit slow
19:14.18opapoI disabled all that i could and it closed out and produced the same BadImplementation error
19:14.41opapoI can't do "ltrace firefox"
19:14.52herloopapo: I'd suggest something similar to what undertakingyou made
19:15.08herloexcept, don't uninstall and reinstall
19:15.33herlojust move the .mozilla directory off and restart ff
19:15.35opaposo just save contents of .mozilla/firefox?
19:16.11herlomove it somewhere
19:16.36herlojust not where it is
19:17.32opapowill: mv /home/daniel/.mozilla /home/daniel/.mozilla~
19:17.34maquisundertakingyou: another thing that works sometimes is moving .mozilla to .mozilla-old, and restarting firefox
19:17.41herlosee if it starts up.  If it does, its a config problem
19:18.04herloopapo: yeah, should work
19:18.06maquisthen got distracted
19:18.44opapoI still get the badImplementation error
19:18.56maquisopapo: ok... did the ltrace tell you anything?
19:18.57herlomaquis: are you saying you didn't read what I wrote?
19:19.11maquisherlo: i read what you wrote after i'd already written my stuff
19:19.22herlohaha
19:19.33opapoltrace firefox doesn't work for me
19:19.34herloopapo: give up
19:19.37maquisi wrote my stuff first, then had to answer some questions for my pet intern, then came back and hit enter
19:19.40maquisand then read
19:19.41herlo:-D
19:20.02herloopapo: haha, j/k
19:20.03maquisopapo: are you a dev?
19:20.10opapodev?
19:20.17maquisdeveloper
19:20.25opapoin what sence
19:20.26herloopapo: is this a very new version of ff or something?
19:20.37herlosense doesn't have a c!
19:20.38herlo:)
19:20.45maquisif not, you might be best just throwing your hands up and cutting a bug report or something....
19:20.52maquisopapo: software developer
19:20.52opapoherlo: thanks
19:20.58maquisprogrammer
19:20.59maquisetc
19:21.06opapoHerlo: I pick on people for the same thing
19:21.09Yorokobiherlo, cents has a c :)
19:21.43herloYorokobi: you are correct!
19:21.50maquisopapo: if you're a programmer, there's directions you could go from here, but if you're not a programmer, it'd probably end up being a ton of work for very little gain
19:21.58Yorokobihooray for homonyms!
19:22.03opapoMaquis: I am a php programmer and I know bash
19:22.17maquisopapo: that might not help a lot here, i'm afraid
19:22.18maquis:)
19:22.18herlo~brownie Yorokobi
19:22.26Yorokobiscary
19:22.34opapomaquis: what do I need to know?
19:22.51herloopapo: reinstall ff
19:22.51maquisopapo: my guess is that this is c++...
19:23.03opapoI will reinstall ff
19:23.26maquisyou don't actually need to know c++, but if you've done any programming in c/c++/java/etc, you could probably get a bit of info...
19:23.29maquisbut yeah..
19:23.33maquisreinstalling is the easier solution
19:23.54herloopapo: what version are you trying to install?  I s it brand new or something?
19:24.26opapo"sudo aptitude reinstall firefox" did not help
19:24.42opapoSetting up firefox (2.0.0.4+1-0ubuntu1) ...
19:24.56herloopapo: uninstall
19:25.02herloopapo: give up for a night
19:25.11herloopapo: try again 10 minutes later
19:25.22Hundingherlo: it is still early afternoon here
19:25.27herloopapo: smack herlo around and make it work anyway
19:25.32herloHunding: yeah, yeah
19:26.09herloHunding: I am hurt
19:26.24herloopapo: but seriously, you need to uninstall
19:26.30Hundingdon't ya just love sarcasim herlo?
19:26.32herloopapo: then check the directories
19:26.40herlowhere ff might be found
19:26.50herloHunding: for sure, otherwise I wouldn't be so well liked ! :)
19:27.13herloopapo: then reinstall ff
19:27.26Yorokobiopapo, sudo dpkg --purge firefox
19:27.27herloopapo: it seems odd that you'd be the only one with this particular problem
19:28.01herloYorokobi: tx, I had no ideas...
19:29.29maquisopapo: a lot of times "reinstall" doesn't actually do the full remove and install process
19:29.37opapothis scares me http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25283/
19:30.03opapoI don't want to remove gnome
19:30.22opapomaybe I am ignorant in this matter
19:30.25maquisheh...
19:30.34maquisso *that*s how you get ubuntu to remove gnome
19:30.43Hundingopapo: that is a real good idea...get rid of gnome...it sucks anyway...get KDE ;)
19:30.57maquisjust get rid of both of them :)
19:31.33opapoHunding: I tried Kubuntu, but the support wasn't what I wanted
19:31.58opapomaquis: what do you use to run ff
19:32.28HundingKDE is so well done there is no need for support...
19:32.31maquisopapo: to run ff?
19:32.35maquiswhat do you mean?
19:32.35Hundingjust kidding opapo
19:32.49opapoHunding: funny
19:32.53Hundingopapo: don't ask maquis...she is out there
19:33.12opapomaquis: do you use lynx?
19:33.20maquisopapo: no... i use firefox
19:33.24Hundingopapo: maquis will send you over to the dark side of window managers
19:33.25maquisi just don't use gnome/kde
19:33.40opapomaquis: what do you use?
19:33.59maquisopapo: it's called evilwm
19:34.05[phoenyx]dun dun dun
19:34.11opaponow I understand
19:34.19maquisif you aren't used to doing things from the command-line, it will push you into that...
19:34.26maquisthere are no icons, toolbars, menus, etc.
19:34.54opapomaquis: I like the gnome/kde way of doing things
19:34.57Hundingdecorations, eye candy, or anything else that is more than a window manager
19:35.20maquisHunding: exactly
19:35.57opapocan we get back my problem.
19:36.16opapohttp://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25283/ will it uninstall gnome if I continue with this?
19:36.37opaposorry to be self centered
19:36.58Hundingonly if your lucky opapo
19:37.07opapoNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
19:37.33YorokobiLooks like opapo is making the switch to KDE
19:37.45undertakingyoumaquis: how do you install evilwm in ubuntu?  
19:37.52opapomisspoke
19:37.54opaposorry
19:37.59[phoenyx]she doesn't use ubuntu!
19:38.16undertakingyoumy bad
19:38.19maquisundertakingyou: it might be in apt... if not, you can download the source and install it that way (that's what i usually do)
19:38.22Hundingshe does not use ubuntu she does not live in Utah...
19:38.28maquisHunding: exactly
19:38.39[phoenyx]she isn't even a guy!
19:38.43Hundingundertakingyou: it is NOT in sudo aptitude install menu
19:39.04maquisundertakingyou: i have used ubuntu in the past, and i generally just downloaded the source and did a ./configure; make; sudo make install
19:39.04Hundingmaquis: just what the heck are you doing here anyway??
19:39.11maquisHunding: i like answering questions :)

19:40.08undertakingyoumaquis: thanks.  I like playing with the different WM's.  I have KDE, GNOME, and Xfce here on the laptop.  Those are easy to install though
19:40.10Hundingundertakingyou: but it does compile easy enough...
19:40.19maquisundertakingyou: np
19:40.29opapohow do I uninstall/remove just firefox?
19:40.34maquisit's pretty cool, but it's much harder to use than kde, gnome and xfce
19:40.39undertakingyouop
19:40.40herlo~lart Hunding for suggesting that GNOME sucks
19:40.40jbotputs Hunding into a headlock and administers a mighty noogie, rubbing half of Hunding's hair of for suggesting that GNOME sucks
19:40.51undertakingyouopapo: sudo apt-get remove firefox
19:41.03maquis~lart herlo for suggesting that gnome does not suck
19:41.03jboteats herlo's liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti for suggesting that gnome does not suck
19:41.14opapoundertakingyou: that will remove gnome
19:41.20Hundingherlo: sucks?? That is way too nice to describe that junk known as gnome
19:41.23undertakingyouit says that, but it won't
19:41.23herlo~herlo maquis for being a girl geek
19:41.24jbotACTION pokes maquis for being a girl geek in the eye with a sharp needle
19:41.26maquisopapo: even if you don't ahve the --purge?
19:41.29undertakingyouI hav done it before
19:41.44maquisherlo: lol
19:41.55herloopapo: say goodbye to gnome!
19:42.01herloopapo: and then reinstall it

19:42.59maquisherlo: sure...
19:43.03herlomaquis: lots of sugar however
19:44.38maquisyeah... that's what they all say...
19:45.12herlohttp://beta.zooomr.com/photos/herlo/
19:45.18maquisopapo: sorry we're not much more helpful...
19:45.43undertakingyouopapo: Really, what is says that it will uninstall is the ubuntu-desktop.  But everything works fine after, and then you can just do a sudo apt-get install firefox (and if you'd like) ubuntu-desktop
19:45.46opapoI just hope I can get things back to the way they were without the bugs
19:46.32opapoI did sudo aptitude install firefox and it removed a lot of stuff
19:46.47herloopapo: that never happens
19:46.49opapoI guess I will have to find out what I missed one by one
19:46.57opapoHerlo: funny
19:47.16herloopapo: you love it
19:47.26herlo=>
19:47.45opapoI can't believe it

20:04.58herloopapo: from what I know, you seem to have enough skills
20:05.09opapoherlo: do you need more than a years experience?
20:05.26herloZelut: make GL pay for it to go express
20:05.37herloopapo: depends on how you feel about your skillz
20:06.27opapoSo it doesn't matter that I have only been working with linux for a year or two?
