New Lite user - materene - 08-15-2015
Hello, I just want to say thanks for such a nice clean install with no effort , all my old hardware was sorted from the get go. That means a lot to non power users when hours aren't wasted just trying to install a new system. I simply wanted to use Linux on a second hard drive along with XP on another, I plan on doing the INTERNET using this Lite to help make the old XP more secure. I see nothing out of the box to not like, it's clean and seems to roll with what I want. It took a while to find what I wanted in a Linux system. I like mint and Ubuntu but neither is now giving the older hardware a chance to install, very irritating to install and have a nice screen only disappear after the first boot into the new system, not to mention the resources are much too demanding for a 10 year old computer. I tried correcting display driver issues following other users experiences only to have another obstacle like missing libc and other things happening. So I kept reading and looking and found this nice distro. I'll be sure and talk kindly about it to friends

Awesome. I've found a lot of great help here, and am super-happy with this install on my main machine.
