Title: Linux Lite on Acer Aspire One
Post by: avj on February 12, 2015, 07:06:51 PM
Hello all,
I would like to thank the team of developers for such a nice operating system.  I have only been using Linux for a couple of years, and have tried more than a few distros.  I started with Ubuntu 12.04, but was never satisfied with Unity, so I tried Debian, Slitaz, Zorin and others and found most of them to be very unfriendly to new users, the ones that were more friendly just didn't have the feel I was looking for. I have been using LL since 2.0 and just recently upgraded to 2.2. One of the things I love about LL is that it is easy on old hardware. I am currently running it on an old Acer Aspire One AOA150 that i got in 2009 with 1GB ram. LL works great I have even been able to run Virtualbox on it with xp to run some of my old go to win programs. The team is doing a great job, keep up the good work.

Hi avj! A lot of fun with LL en forget about Unity when it is not right for you. :D
I don't like it either. And we are not alone. It is there because of 'handhelds'.
It is not so much for pc's, although some are very happy with it.
