Linux Lite Forums - Hello and system req for Lite

Hello Lite community. I am (soon to be 'was') a Windows user and is new to Linux.
I just found out about Lite on DistroWatch a couple hours ago. I've checked the Help Manual but couldn't find an answer to the first question I have. It's this:

Will Lite run on my old computer?
Pentium 4, 3.06 GHz
System model: D915GAV_
32 bit
came with 2GB RAM, I upgraded that to 4GB with only 3.something available for use.
It has XP Professional

I don't want to dual boot. I just want to run Lite only. if this is not the place to post, please let me know.

Welcome!!

Should run fine on those specs...

See this link for minimum requirements..

I wonder if anyone can help with this question.

I have 1TB of harddisk space and would like to have my /home in a separate partition than /

Are there any clear, non-techie, step by step instructions I can access anywhere to follow? Remember I am a Linux newbie and as I said before, I am not dual booting, I am replacing XP completely.

Yes and it actually preferred for future upgrades...

You would create a separate partition and name accordingly and mount it etc..., but I'll see if I can find something that explains and update...
