Hi, my name is Lynne and this is my very first time at joining any sort of forum at all. Linux Lite has persuaded me. 

I live in Australia and am an older lady.

I have been using Ubuntu (mostly) and Kubuntu (some of the time) and Linux Mint (tried it for awhile) over the past few years and now have just installed the latest Linux Lite version. I am not an expert but I do know a little to get me around the distro. During yesterday when I installed it, I did call in here to find a couple of answers and now here I am ... all new and shiny and saying "Hi".

Hi,

This topic has been moved to Start up and Shutdown.

I apologize if this has been addressed before, I couldn't find it if so.  I have found Linuxlite to be very slow to boot and shutdown.  Not referring to the GRUB part but the part with the "splash screen" where all of the services and what not are being loaded.  Is there any way to speed it up, i.e. a list of the bare minimum process needed to make the OS work.  By "work" I mean be usable right away (while I'm not new to Linux I'm not into working from command line, just the basics like installing software and updating not for the whole system.)

Should this not be LITE LOCKER?

Sorry if I'm being a stickler over this?

To start the new year 2016 with an experiment I installed Linux Lite 2.6 64bit version on my old MSI notebook. Everything seems to be working well and I will report details of the hardware (and any problems, if they should occur) soon.

I live in Germany and have been a Linux user for more than 15 years. I prefer distros that are easy on resources (because I only have older, cheaper computers  ) so Linux Lite looks like a good match for me!  8)

Have a great year, everyone.

Ciao,
