I have been a user of Linux for years, love the ease of using, updating and in general, the feel of the majority of Distro's. Ubuntu, Mint and several others but my favorite was PCLinuxOS until they dropped the 32 byte version. My hobby is to try and resurrect old computers, then I give them away, so a Linux distro is perfect because of the minimum hardware requirements they need to operate. (My Wife says that I repair them until they are broken beyond repair)
This laptop for example is a old Toshiba NB200 which was taking the best part of 20 minutes to fully load Win XP Home and get online. Now with LinuxLite I timed it today at just over 85 seconds, that is of course without any bloatware or other crap on board.
Toshiba NB200 32bit
Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N280 @ 1.66GHz
Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME
RAM 1 G.
So you can see that this notebook is nothing to rave about, but with LinuxLite on board it is operating just as well if not better that most Windows PC's.
Glad to be a member of this forum and definitely very happy to have come across Linux Lite.
