Comparing the package lists to LL, they are oddly lean in two instances, and unnecessarily fat in three others. XFCE needs homemade code in some of their intended instances, and my guess is they haven't worked it out yet. I'll look at it this week if I stay unoccupied enough with other things. Also I'm hopefully acquiring some new machines from a surprise source, and I will definitely put LL 3.0 64 on one of them, and use rEFInd and post a comment or two.

I decided, fool that I am, to give it a spin. Downloaded a 32 bit copy. Moved the .iso over to my 'never connected to the internet' Windows XP computer. 'Rufus' onto a usb stick. Disconnected the hard drive & booted 'er up. The first thing that came up was I was asked to put in a user ID & Password. (You can start nodding Jerry). Ever use the live disk of Linux Lite 1.0.0 to 1.0.6? The password & userID? - It's 'root'. When it started up, it's DejaVu all over again. Looks a lot like Linux Lite 1.0.8, but some very interesting differences. It installs kernel '3.16.0-4-686-pae' - BUT! in their version of 'Lite control Center' there is a GUI to change the kernel. An option, for example, is kernel '4.4.3 i386''. The software is via 'Synaptic' and (they're not fooling me with a different name) 'Gnome software center'. The repository is 'DuZeru.org.ftp.br.debian.org/Jessie'. It's a mix of English & Portuguese, but you can easily change everything to English. I'm a big fan of the 1.0.x series of Linux Lite & it's very like that, but with modern tools & features. I'd have to tell the truth, on first glance & poking around. I liked it. Is it safe & secure? Absolutely no idea, time will tell. On my torrent download there were downloaders from Brazil, USA, Japan, Norway & the Republic of Korea.

"LL inspired" is a nice way to say it. Not only the Welcome window is identical. I saw even a screenshot with the LL Control Center!

So is the malware coming from them or via sourceforge?

Hello!

Their home page (sans malware?) is duzeru.org. An excellent opportunity to add and use the translation plugin.

Though they say it's Debian-based, it looks LL-inspired to me. With the Rio Olympics looking disappointing, it's nice to know that SOMETHING good came out of Brazil this year...

By the way this sourceforge link you posted earlier has malware...
