[15:07] <xBaldwin> Hey I've got a few questions.
[16:03] <k_sze> Hi guys. What's the difference between the normal PC 64-bit image and the Mac 64-bit image?
[16:15] <ianorlin> the 64 bit mac image has stuff to deal with uefi on a mac I think
[19:37] <user123321> Hey, if I'm going to need 3 VM's running Ubuntu, should I use LUbuntu for testing? [because it uses less resources]. Is it good as a server? I need 3 servers running in VM's [2 servers + 1 common storage]
[19:38] <wxl> user123321: gui-less os's make the lightest servers.
[19:40] <user123321> wxl, I see, would LUbuntu do the job? [GUI or not]
[19:41] <wxl> user123321: without a gui, they're all basically the same.
[19:41] <wxl> user123321: meaning ubuntu and its deratives.
[19:41] <user123321> wxl, I see. But I'd like to work with GUI at the moment :D
[19:42] <wxl> user123321: if you want to go gui, i'd probably do lubuntu then.
[19:43] <user123321> wxl, cool, thanks :)
[19:45] <genii> For when a window manager is absolutely needed for some reason on a server, i tend to install lwm and then an zinitrc like lwm & xterm &     ... and then issue the name of the gui app to run in the xterm
[19:45] <genii> xinitrc, not zinitrc :)
[22:35] <user123321> I want to install virtual box, the website has a version for ubuntu, can I install it in LUbuntu?
[22:36] <SonikkuAmerica> Yes. Lubuntu is simply Ubuntu with the LXDE desktop installed.
[22:36] <user123321> Cool
[22:37] <SonikkuAmerica> Although I don't know the specs of your PC, if you have a large hard disk and RAM, Lubuntu can run everything a normal Ubuntu system can.
[22:39] <user123321> Cool, I want to run multiple VM's of LUbuntu, inside LUbuntu :D, what's a good hard disk space I have to allocate for each LUbuntu VM?
[22:48] <wxl> user123321: i think at minimum for a normal install you're looking at like 8gb. i'd just make your virtual disk dynamic.
[22:48] <user123321> wxl, cool.
