@edythemighty Hehe, it seems like it but there's no reason why open source has to == hard. A lot of people use that as an excuse I think
-
@dantheman I didn't explicitly state open source == hard. But you have to admit,
-
@dantheman open source projects focus on functionality first, actual UI design as an afterthought....
-
@dantheman ....if they even remember
-
@edythemighty bridged networking is a big piece of functionality that virtualbox is missing.
-
@cdavis But it does the job in every other area, eh? ;D
-
@edythemighty Maybe. I don't use it because of lacking feature I want.
-
@cdavis I don't use it because I don't believe in virtualization ;) One machine has a hardware failure, all your VMs on that machine go down
-
@edythemighty Oh yeah I don't disagree except in this case it's the fact that functionality seems to be lacking, not just a GUI problem
-
@edythemighty When I said people use it as an excuse, I meant developers not users. They don't seem to consider usability a lot of the time
-
@dantheman Agreed on the dev thing...not to insult all y'all who happen to be devs here on identi.ca <http://identi.ca/> ;)
-
@dantheman I am right there with you. I want to be able to connect my son's mp3 player wireless but I need the bridge to do it.
-
@dantheman If I have any luck, I will let you know
-
@cdavis: There is a way to get VirtualBox networked. I can't remember if it had bridging or not. Maybe it did. Tap device.
-
@xpistos Cool thanks, that would be appreciated. I followed this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox#Networking no luck yet

@dantheman Great 53rd ep of Linux Outlaws. I empathize w/ Fab's loss of bandwidth. I've had a similar experience and it is Not Fun.

@kristau Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it :) I have trouble going a day without the net so I can't imagine 3 weeks, nasty
