Found my home. Dammit I just keep coming back to Lite. I love the little linux distro. Fits me like a glove. I feel like I am the master of my domain. Does anyone know what I'm saying?

I Started Ubuntu 10.10 years ago and that was so disappointing. No not at the distro or even the Linux as an OS. I just had no clue what I was getting into. I think I broke it that same night. I was so clueless.

Gone back to Win7 for a few more years and saw a youtube video and that peaked my interest again. By that time I was gonna trying Ubuntu 14.04 and this time after watching a few hundred bash and distro install videos I decided to give Ubuntu another go. This time I managed to keep it going for over a month with out breaking it. Unity was fun but I got sick of it fast.

So I came across a few more reviews and found Linux Lite. I liked it and played with it a few days. Burnt me a CD and still wanted to see the others.

Tried to install Open Suse and I think something went wrong and bailed. Went back to Lite.

Few weeks later thought I try something else. Starting to figure this stuff out.

I  tried Linux mint KDE and I liked it but so much eye candy and stuff to play with and adjust. I did not like the Activities thingy and the different types of desktops and all I wanted was to put icons on the desktop. So I bailed on that but kept the disk.

Back to Lite

Tried some Jeos and did not get far with that at all. Tried FreeBSD NOPE never even got it installed.

I thought I should have to try Red Hat too but it seems like thats not a free distro.

Back to Lite. Think I'll stay a while.

Sorry for the long post....

Found this feature today...added a little something Lite-ish and produced this effect. Appears better on a solid black backround.

Are split up into 2 distinctive groups.

1.) Regular Groups - Linux Lite Developers and Global Moderators.

Linux Lite Developers - Platinum Ranked
Global Moderators - Gold Ranked
Donator - Gold Ranked (you need to contact Jerry once you have donated)

2.) Post count based groups.

I've been using Linux Lite for about two weeks out of necessity as internet access using Windows XP suddenly stopped on my laptop. Re-installing XP did not solve the problem.
I am reluctant to buy a new laptop/pc or to buy a new operating system such as Windows 7.

I am very disappointed so far with Linux as I am experiencing various problems, namely the following:

Cannot use AOL as my default browser as it is not compatible with Linux. This is necessary as AOL is my internet provider and I need access to my “favourite” folders which are not available via Firefox or any other medium.

Cannot use Yahoo Messenger. I am unable to install this as it is not compatible with Linux.

I am always asked to select the “language for import” when using Excel spreadsheet.

I am unable to read information being typed in the search bar as this is always blacked out.

I cannot use certain website such as the National Lottery in the UK, where I live, as I get a warning that I appear to reside outside of the UK.

Any suggestions for alternative free operating systems to Linux or Ubuntu which are more reliable?

Please don't ask me why; but a while ago I uninstalled Wine. Now it wont re-install, not from "install additional software" or from the Synaptic PM. I even uninstalled it from the Synaptic PM first ( it was showing as being still there) and re-installed it but did not work. I don't get wine showing up in the Menu, if I search for it I get "Run wine" and clicking on this produces no result at all.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Hi Valtam,

Not sure if it's possible.?
On the LL Forum Stat's page, is it possible to LL Users by Country.?

Thanks... Dave

Hello everyone.

I joined a week or so ago to ask a question about the recent Bash vulnerability. I got an helpful reply from Scott and consequently upgraded to 2.0 but I thought I'd drop an introduction and thank you here.

I moved to Linux Lite back in April when Microsoft withdrew security updates for XP. Searching You Tube for a solution, I came across the videos of 'Puppy Linux World', who recommended Linux Lite as a replacement for XP and it's run faultlessly since being installed.

Without the work of Valtam and the team here at Linux Lite, this old PC might have ended up as scrap, so Linux Lite also helps the environment!

As one who struggles to put together a few lines of Python or VBA, I'm constantly amazed by the developers who give us these operating systems and applications. So a thank you to all here, for giving us the benefit of your knowledge and skills freely.

Regards

I have been endeavouring to start a Non Profit Group or organisation in Sydney Australia for some time, there are a few things happening and as I find people who can help and can get on board I have found no other distro that can not only run successfully on the machines donated, but also attract favour with those who use these re-employed machines, Many of which in my view are excellent every day work horses that can do the Facebook/word processing/email stuff, but also play high def video or even create something without a problem, even that would be resource heavy when a Windows App is used within Windows, on machine no more endowed than a p4 2ghz 1 gig ram or equivalent.

By the way, if anyone in the Sydney Australia region wants to get involved in the creation of a group such as this, let me know, it will hopefully become something that will bring about some employment and be a lot of fun for those at the grass roots of this venture..

I have an old HDD that has some data I'd like to access.  I've installed it in an external enclosure but I can't find it on the computer.  (Yes.  I've plugged it in.  )  Where do I find it?  In Windows, I could look under "Computer" but I don't see anything like that here.  I'm sure there's a simple answer but like my brother Forrest said, "I'm not a smart man.".

TIA
