Does this release support UEFI ?

Hi colinkx250, no it doesn't. It's a tricky implementation, one that we have yet to conquer. This video shows you how to do it, so it's certainly doable even without the UEFI support on the disc.

Thanks for the link. A friend of mine hated his new windows 8 machine and even threatened to throw it out the window. He wanted to try Linux Lite after I told him how great and easy it would be to use having come from an XP machine. We were going to run a dual boot system but it had UEFI.I have since bought a second hard drive and booted in legacy mode and installed LinuxLite to that. Windows 8 drive has been removed and can be replaced if he isn't sure.Its a shame PC manufacturers are making it so hard for free open source OS with their UEFI support. Hopefully you guys will crack it as I think LinuxLite is not just for old hardware its one of the best systems I have come across.
Good Job!

How it all going folks? For those that are testing, have you found any quirks, anomalies, bugs?
Re: Linux Lite 2.2 Beta Released - Scott(0) - 11-23-2014
Hi Jerry. The testing is going well. I'm limited to vbox but haven't come across any issues. It seems the same as 2.0 but at the same time just a notch quicker and a bit more refined. I'm eager to see what surprises you have in store with the final release.

Been with 2.2 Beta for some days now , great distro ( looks , performances , etc ) but sometimes it either unlog or reboot by itself ! Haven t did it today yet , hopefully it s ok now , wonder why it had these issues .
I know it s Beta , so I don t really mind , not much differences as stated above . Had Linux Lite 2.0 before , never had issues with it .
Keep up the great work in there .
