<ShittyShellshock> what even is this?
<Spaiku> it's, like, a retro OS virtual machine
<ShittyShellshock> ooooookay
<ShittyShellshock> I can't just _open_ a box file
<ShittyShellshock> i'm not a magician
<Spaiku> download and install VirtualBox
<Spaiku> download and install Vagrant
<Spaiku> you're going to want a relatively recent copy
<Spaiku> then, open this directory in a COMMAND LINE
<Spaiku> and type in "vagrant up"
<ShittyShellshock> a command line? what is this, 1992?
<Spaiku> shut up
<Spaiku> you shut your face

---

<miloslav> did you build all of this yourself?
<cube_drone> obviously no, this is the work of many talented people, I just slapped together a VM with a cool Ubuntu in it
<miloslav> this is XFCE, right?
<cube_drone> yup, with the excellent [Chicago95 theme](https://github.com/grassmunk/Chicago95) pulling most of the load
<miloslav> huh, nice

---

<ShittyShellshock> how do I turn it off?
<Spaiku> you can't
<Spaiku> now you're in it forever
<Spaiku> or "vagrant halt" i guess
<Spaiku> i guess

<Cthon98> hey, if you type in your pw, it will show as stars
<Cthon98> ********* see!
<AzureDiamond> hunter2
<AzureDiamond> doesnt look like stars to me
<Cthon98> <AzureDiamond> *******
<Cthon98> thats what I see
<AzureDiamond> oh, really?
<Cthon98> Absolutely
<AzureDiamond> you can go hunter2 my hunter2-ing hunter2
<AzureDiamond> haha, does that look funny to you?
<Cthon98> lol, yes. See, when YOU type hunter2, it shows to us as *******
<AzureDiamond> thats neat, I didnt know IRC did that
<Cthon98> yep, no matter how many times you type hunter2, it will show to us as *******
<AzureDiamond> awesome!
<AzureDiamond> wait, how do you know my pw?
<Cthon98> er, I just copy pasted YOUR ******'s and it appears to YOU as hunter2 cause its your pw
<AzureDiamond> oh, ok.

<FattoCatto> The GUI is so tiny, it sucks
<Seb> You need to switch it to scaled mode, it adds dragon wings and a flamethrower
<Seb> and also i guess lets you drag the screen size around
<Seb> that's Right-Control and C
<FattoCatto> oh, that's quite a bit better
<FattoCatto> it's capped at 1024x768, though, huh?
<Seb> such authenticity
<Seb> I refuse to acknowledge the legitimacy of any resolution beyond XGA
<Seb> the ONE TRUE RESMOLUTION
<FattoCatto> How do I open the menu in scaled mode in VirtualBox?
<Seb> Ctrl-F4
<-- FattoCatto has quit (user disconnected)
<Seb> ... I mean, uh, Right-Control Home
