I read in the Lite manual to defrag the drive before installing Lite. Was that meant just for certain type of installations?
I did the analyze thing and it says the drive (C
does not need defragmenting.
Should I defrag anyway? There are a few red lines among the blue and the green (Window XP).

If you have an SSD, I'm not sure how much of a difference this will make.
GRUB:
sudo leafpad /etc/default/grubreplace GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash” with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash profile”
save and exit
sudo update-grub2Reboot
Grub does a search for all the necessary drivers to load. Instead of making Grub search for required drivers, the profiling actually makes Grub remember every necessary driver to work. This action will cutting down all of the driver load times. First reboot may be a little slower than normal, but consequent boots should be much faster.
CPU:
If you have a multi-core CPU/Processor, this following steps may be able to speed up your boot time besides of using the step above, follow these instructions:
sudo leafpad /etc/init.d/rcfind this line : CONCURRENCY=none or CONCURRENCY=makefile
replace with : CONCURRENCY=shell
save and exit

USE WITH EXTREME CAUTION
Blacklisting unnecessary kernel modules. Open the terminal and type command lsmod to see what are the modules that are loaded.
Check the value in section "used by", if the value is "0" it means that the this kernel module is not been used by any of the application/process and it's unnecessary occupying the space in the memory, the best way to know about such module to use google/bing search engine and if you feel that this module is not required you can simply unload it, for example if you don't have the floppy drive then why to load floppy module.
sudo leafpad /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.confgo to the bottom of the file and start adding your blacklisted kernel modules, eg.
blacklist floppysudo update-initramfs -ureboot.
You MUST research each module you want to prevent loading before you disable it. Don't blacklist everything with a 0.

Not sure how the NEW flag on posts is supposed to work and how they are removed .
When I look at " Show new replies to my posts" that have not had any new posts for years but have a red NEW flag . Even if I look at the posts they keep being listed . Some of the time when there are updates there is no notification . If I suspect the is a new post I have to search for the original post in the Index or through my Profile > Show posts

I can avoid Dell/Windows problems like this.
I hope this will inspire people to learn scripting. Simple scripts like these can speed up things and make life easier. Last one is a winner
xxx: (and the oscar goes to) fuckingcoffee.sh - this one waits exactly 17 seconds (!), then opens an SSH session to our coffee-machine (we had no frikin idea the coffee machine is on the network, runs linux and has SSHD up and running) and sends some weird gibberish to it.
Looks binary. Turns out this thing starts brewing a mid-sized half-caf latte and waits another 24 (!) seconds before pouring it into a cup. The timing is exactly how long it takes to walk to the machine from the dudes desk.
Over the course of the next few weeks I'll be slowly adding some Google ads to various parts of the website, including the Forums. In terms of growth, I'd describe our current status as 'plateaued'
To get the hardware I need to test things like UEFI, to get us a dedicated web server, to add more services for people in the community, this is a natural addition to the project, no revenue - no growth. We've survived this long without it, but to get to the next level, we need to consider all possibilities.
Linux Lite will always be free.
I installed latest version of whisker menu and I can not succeed to make it transparent. 
Can some one help?
Hi guys;
My Linux Lite 2.4 system has been hanging at boot. So when I pressed F4 to see what the problem was it read " Starting Bridge socket events into upstart.
I searched for a possible solution and found a post by Stéphane Graber (stgraber) in the launchpad.net site that said that in order to resolve the issue I have to edit /var/lib/lxc/<container>/config and make it look like something like [this]:
"""
# Template used to create this container: /usr/share/lxc/templates/lxc-download
# Parameters passed to the template: -d ubuntu -r trusty -a amd64
# For additional config options, please look at lxc.conf(5)
# Distribution configuration
lxc.include = /usr/share/lxc/config/ubuntu.common.conf
lxc.arch = x86_64
# Container specific configuration
lxc.rootfs = /var/lib/lxc/YOUR-CONTAINER-NAME/rootfs
lxc.utsname = YOUR-CONTAINER-NAME
# Network configuration
lxc.network.type = veth
lxc.network.flags = up
lxc.network.link = lxcbr0
lxc.network.hwaddr = YOUR-CONTAINER-MAC-ADDRESS
But how can I do that when I can't even boot into the damn system !
How does one restore a single file or directory in Linux Lite? I was going through the restore process using the Backups utility (aka Deja Dup), and it appeared it was going to restore everything I backed up, when I only need to retrieve one file.
