[Kadrus]

hahahahha, nice one "BOUTA".

it's very clear that the linux users in lebanon are comming bigger and bigger

yep...and if i am not mistake it is mostly uses in Lebanese Universities...so Linux in Lebanon is pretty good ^_^

[robertchahine]

for sure.
about the universities, does they still use red hat, or they are newer?

[bouta]

yeah ,people get so complicated with using operating systems here thats why they use windows.we should spread ubuntu here, i am starting to influence some friends

[robertchahine]

so did i.
even my brother has completly removed winxp from his laptop and installed ubuntu.

[Kadrus]

yeah plus Ubuntu is easy to use..now a days Linx is pretty easy to install and use..back in the days when there was no graphical installer it was a bit hard..

[robertchahine]

yep it was hard.
but now it's so easy and so fast.
On my pc , installing ubuntu tooks 10 minutes, installing Xp i think it tooks 1 hour at least

[magaltavor]

i am very happy and proud to see people like you here and exited for Ubuntu

Cheers

[robertchahine]

for sure, man.
Ubuntu has really changed my life.
on xp, i usually open facebook everyday.
after installing ubuntu, i open my facebook every two days i think, because, everyday, i check the ubuntuforums.
On the ubuntuforums, you get knowledge+help people+people help you+laugh sometime:D
it's really amazing

[Kadrus]

for sure, man.
if i am not mistaken magaltavor is a woman..hopefully i am right..or this is really an embarassing moment:p

[robertchahine]

oh!!!!

if you're right kadrus, i'm really sorrymagaltavor,.
(because on the ubuntuforums, rarely to see women participate )

[Kadrus]

well there is a forum Ubuntu Women (http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=76)

[robertchahine]

like this thread title, i wanna say WOW, because even there's an administrator who is woman.i'm glad to see that

[Kadrus]

women can be geeks too :p..we're all the same :-)

[robertchahine]

you're totally right. if you look at the mozilla firefox developpers, there's women there

[Kadrus]

and if my informations are right a woman was the first programmer ever..i might be wrong...Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace)

[magaltavor]

[Kadrus]

Sorry To tell you guys , i am MAN i really apologies if i disappointed you
woops..my bad..sorry for the confusion..lol..

[MONODA]

i have converted two of my friends to linux completely, Mandriva specifically, and they love it. I chose to install mandriva cause it detected the hardware best on those machines.

[robertchahine]

did they try ubuntu?
by the way, do they have old machines?

[MONODA]

did they try ubuntu?
by the way, do they have old machines?
one of them was a pentium 3 with 256 MB ram, ubuntu nor Kubuntu, or xubuntu would boot properly on it. Mandriva booted perfectly. the other was a pentium 4 512 MB ram. I just downloaded the iso and had him install it himself.

[robertchahine]

at least they're using linux.

[Kadrus]

Mandriva is one of the most friendly distros..and the spring edition is pretty impressive I have got to say..

[robertchahine]

by the way,
R u all guys using the Hardy heron version of ubuntu?

[MONODA]

by the way,
R u all guys using the Hardy heron version of ubuntu?
nope I use arch linux

[Kadrus]

by the way,
R u all guys using the Hardy heron version of ubuntu?
yes and i use multiple distros..Mandriva,Gentoo and Ubuntu.

[robertchahine]

aha, good.
by the way guys, did anybody try the KDE (kubuntu).
i've been told it's slow!

[Kadrus]

I hate KDE..it has a sh!tty interface in my opinion..GNOME FTW!

[JMGM123456]

Hey Kadrus just discovered this section too:)

[Kadrus]

Hey Kadrus just discovered this section too
lol..nice to see you on the forums ^_^

[Canis familiaris]

I hate KDE..it has a sh!tty interface in my opinion..GNOME FTW!
I think you should keep such opinions with yourself. KDE is pretty good! Kubuntu does not incorporate it well. But it looks and works good with OpenSUSE, PC Linux OS

[Kadrus]

It only looks good on OpenSuse..and i said in my opinion..so dont take it personal..

[robertchahine]

did anybody try about Damn Small Linux :D ?

it's so small only 90 MB

http://www.linux.com/download_linux/

look at all linux OS

[Kadrus]

yeah I tried it last year..check feather linux and puppy linux too..but there are mini-distros..so no home use,purpose usb...check it at Distrowatch (http://www.distrowatch.com)
[EDIT]And if i think its only 49mb...could be wrong though..
Iso image (http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/damnsmall/current/dsl-4.4.2-initrd.iso)

I've been using Ubutu since Hoary, but I did skip a few distros since the July 2006 war for some reason.

Hey all,

[themagicmanfromtrent]

Haha, they all use it, but how many pay more than 5000LL for it? :D:P

[WolfLust]

Hello all,

Another Lebanese Ubuntu user here.

How's everyone doing?

Cheers.

[EliBei]

Hi

Happy to see other people in Lebanon are using Ubuntu.

I have installed Ubuntu along with my Windows Vista a few weeks ago. I am using Karmic 9.10.

Although I like it, and I am encouraging my family to use it, I have some problems, but none that I couldn't solve by browsing support forums.

As an open source enthusiast, I must say that Linux in general needs to become even more easy in the way it handles problems, because opening a terminal and typing a command is a bit too complicated for most casual users.

Nevertheless, I think Ubuntu has great potential and truly rivals the big names out there.

[walidch]

I agree.

Linux in general is all about perseverance.

[SmaSh2]

Lebanese Ubuntu user :)

Libneneh in Canada,

Been using Ubuntu since 7.04 ( Feisty Fawn). I got a job as a network administrator and was introduced to Ubuntu.

How i got this job? Thanks to a Advanced Linux class based on Fedora core :P

From here i was introduced to Ubuntu and just loved it.
Using Karmic Koala now and looking forward to Lucid Lynx.

Right now I'm studying in Engineering

[cap10Ibraim]

Lebanese , but new to the whole Linux experience
It feels great to find a Lebanese Loco team
my only problem is the slow INTERNET

[magaltavor]

Same here :D I just accidentally stumbled on this.

See my signature for details; i do have Win7 & XP but they are rarely run.

Though i've read in one of the threads under Lebanon Team that there's a Lebanese LOCO but there's no official one up to my knowledge; it would be great if we could combine our efforts (in case it really doesn't exist) & form one.
