Hi toothandnail
I think we've been on other forums together.

Welcome friend

I like the look of Linux-lite and would like to use it, but I'll have to work these problems out before I can recommend it to anyone.

A wise man, I have a few irritations as well concerning the user experience so I'm very interested in your gripes.

I think a new release is due out soon so we both might have a pleasant surprise.
For clients I thought you would have gone for stable because Ubuntu's are rolling releases, I was surprised that a Ubuntu LTS wasn't based on Debian stable, very odd must be a marketing ploy but that makes it a snapshot of testing?.

I live in Cheltenham so if your ever down this way? Cheltenham Gold Cup?

Welcome aboard . Enjoy LL .

Hello. I'm a long term Linux user, living in Bicester, Oxfordshire.

My normal preference is Arch Linux, but I've been looking for a Linux distribution that I can give to clients that are interested in alternatives to Windows. I'm not a great fan of Ubuntu, but the idea of something based on the LTS version of Ubuntu is quite appealing, so Linux-lite was quite high on my list of possibilities.

I've installed the 32-bit version of 2.2 on my Lenovol T420 laptop, but I've hit some fairly significant problems, don't know if they are specific to Linux-lite or general Ubuntu related issues. I'll detail them in other areas. I'm not sure if they relate to the hardware (I normally only use 64-bit versions of Linux, but need a 32-bit option for a couple of machines and I'm short of blank DVDs at the moment...)

I like the look of Linux-lite and would like to use it, but I'll have to work these problems out before I can recommend it to anyone.
