[09:42] <juliux> morning katkin
[09:42] <katkin> hi juliux, how are things?
[09:42] <juliux> well
[13:13] <elkbuntu> katkin, are you free to chat atm?
[13:14] <katkin> not right now as am just nipping out for lunch
[13:14] <katkin> but can chat later if you like?
[13:15] <elkbuntu> katkin, in an hour or so?
[13:16] <katkin> that should be fine
[14:33] <elkbuntu> katkin, are you back from lunch now?
[16:35] <desertc> So I requested a large number of ship it cdroms several months back, about 95% 32-bit versions. A package arrived last week, 10 cdroms, 70% 64-bit versions
[16:38] <desertc> Oh, well. I'll email them and find out what is going on. Meanwhile, anyone need a 64-bit CD?
[16:52] <desertc> Ah. I see. Only 15 were approved. Someone must have wanted to get rid of the 64-bit versions.
[16:54] <desertc> Never did understand the emphasis on 64-bit discs (shipit sends 1 32-bit and 1 64-bit for registered users). Of the hardcore computer users in town that I know, I know of 5-10 who have 64-bit desktops, and those people are more than comfortable obtaining their own Linux ISOs.
[16:54] <desertc> Who exactly are they targeting with those discs? People with servers? Wouldn't those people use the server-version of Ubuntu?
[16:55] <desertc> Anyway, I'm just talking to myself here, as usual. Just rhetorical questions.
[17:02] <stelt> Can't the Robson be loaded with the liveCD and booted from ?
[17:06] <desertc> Is that a technical question?
[17:15] <stelt> sort of
[17:15] <stelt> If the technical answer is yes, marketing comes in to make it happen
[17:17] <stelt> Robson is flash memory
[17:22] <desertc> Might be a question that would have a better response on the Ubuntu help forums, since this is the first I have heard of Intel's Robson flash devices.
