@Tim lol

Tim

A: Will Ubuntu 16.04 LTS server still use dpkg?

I am an Ubuntu Core Developer, Ubuntu Server developer and a developer on the Canonical Server Team. Yes, Xenial Xerus, scheduled for 16.04 LTS, will use dpkg as normal.

Zacharee1

@Tim that copied question: i5 never had XP, which makes it pretty funny

GeoMint

Fabby

@Tim upgoated both Q&A

(and apparently someone cast a close vote)

:(

Zacharee1

@GeoMint Once you get something like 500 or 1000 rep, you'll automatically be put to 101 on every new SE site you join. 100 will also be added to previously made accounts

GeoMint

11:18 PM

wow

Zacharee1

Why are there no LQs, NPs, LAs or SEs to review?

I just looked at my rep chart and saw I went from 11 to 1,000 in like a month

Fabby

hbdgaf

@Fabby It's fine. I'm getting ready to unload on somebody, and I'm trying to calm down at the moment.

GeoMint

11:44 PM

Fabby

@hbdgaf Use me to unload!

You've got everything! (including my tox?)

Seth

@GeoMint Look at the Meizu MX4 then.

It runs Android and/or Ubuntu, good for the price. (dunno what your budget is)

GeoMint

skroutz.gr/s/7621004/Meizu-MX5-16GB.html?keyphrase=Meizu+MX4

@Seth didn't thy take down the site to buy the ubuntu edition - or was that temp

Fabby

@GeoMint Take the BQ Aquaris...

GeoMint

11:46 PM

my critiria are 150-300 € and 2GB ram

i saw it

Mateo

and if you buy the android one, there is a good chance it is locked up an you cant install ubuntu...

Seth

@Mateo you can't get them direct from meizu anymore, true. You should be able to flash UT to any MX4 though.

provided you can unlock the bootloader..

Fabby

960x540, SD-card slot 8G internal, 1G RAM...

Good enough @150€

Zacharee1

@Fabby is that the RAZR M?

GeoMint

Zacharee1

11:46 PM

Mateo

it's too bad... it is a nice phone on ubuntu

hbdgaf
