Thanks for adding zRam. Excellent option for older computers. Thank you for everyone's hard work. Being able to declutter logout of options I would never use is also great. Exactly what Linux Lite is all about. Easy to see why Linux Lite is becoming more popular. Let's hope Windows Vista enjoys its retirement. Maybe it can share a room at the home with WindowsME.

And here is a one hour video to help you create Samba shares in Linux Lite to share files and folders in your network... for multiple users & different access permissions to the shares.



Please, excuse my terrible editing. I'm not youtuber kinda fellow  ;D

Release Announcement

Linux Lite 3.4 Final is now available for download. Linux Lite continues its focus on Security by providing our latest application, Lite Updates Notify. This application is a desktop notification that informs the user of all available updates. You can set Update reminders anywhere from once every hour to once every 3 weeks. Continuing our focus on Security, Lite Welcome has a fresh new look, reminding you after a fresh install of Linux Lite to - Install Updates, Install Drivers and Set a Restore Point. This release also brings 4 new features to Lite Tweaks, Hibernate & Suspend, Login & Logout Options, Manage Save Sessions and zRam. With Hibernate & Suspend, you can select whether or not to show these options on the Logout screen. The Login & Logout Options feature allows the administrator to enable or disable Login & Logout window options. These 2 new features are particularly useful for multi user set ups. zRam is a compressed RAM block device for faster I/O and is perfect for older computers. Also in this release we've included lots of updates to our Lite packages, as well as the usual fixes from the 3.4 Beta.

Presenting Linux Lite 3.4 Final



Lite Updates Notify - A new application for Linux Lite. Lite Updates Notify is a desktop notification that informs the user of all available updates. Menu, Favorites, Install Updates should be run before executing Lite Updates Notify for the first time. A HUGE thank you to Ralphy for his collaboration on this challenging application.

1. Menu, Settings, Lite Updates Notify.



2. Select a notification frequency.



3. When you receive your desktop notification, you will get either of two messages:





This is a notification only. Go to Menu, Favorites, Install Updates if the notification says you have updates to install. This is an optional application, you do not have to use it if you don't want to and it is disabled by default. Please be aware that if there are no Updates, you will only get the 'Your system is up to date' message once, until such a time where Updates become available again.

To set the above Notification theme, go to Menu, Settings, Notifications. Select the theme 'Default'.

16.04.2 Base - Linux Lite 3.4 is based off 16.04.2, however, we do not include the 4.8 kernel Hardware Enablement Stack. The HWE stacks were never meant to be supported for the entire life of the LTS release. In the past, support has been limited between HWE releases. I prefer to offer people the option to switch to one of our custom kernels should you require newer hardware support, not forcefully impose a newer kernel where it is not necessary or where it may drop support for older hardware.

Lite Welcome - Has been improved by recommending people follow a basic 3 step post-install process. Install Updates > Install Drivers > Setting a Restore Point.





Window snapping by default - Dragging windows to the corners and snapping windows which is a feature familiar to Windows users, is now available in Linux Lite 3.4 Thank you to torreydale and others for this suggestion.



Lite Tweaks - Added zRam feature - zRam is a compressed RAM block device for faster I/O. Perfect for older computers. Added Login & Logout Tweaks feature - enable or disable Login window options. Useful for multi user set ups. There will be updates to this feature following the release of 3.4 so look out for that. A huge thank you to Ralphy for these additions.
