Stick with existing number scheme, it is universally understood. I'm not sure all nationalities are familiar with roman numerals. Using colours is interesting if colours were also used alphabetically otherwise we need a conversion chart to remind us which colour  is .2 etc.

Sooo close, yet so far..  :o

Should be:


--- Code: ---cat /etc/llver
--- End code ---

I had to attempt an upgrade to get the system to reveal that I was running v2.8. The very friendly Welcome page would be a great place to identify the version number. Put it right in the title, after "Linux Lite".

The Lite Control Center should display the version of LL along with the installed kernel...
From terminal.. I believe the correct command/path is..

--- Code: ---cat /ect/llver
--- End code ---

There are a few other command that will yield kernel, ubuntu base etc... but for LL try the above..
Also GRUB shows LL version on boot too ;)
I'm sure there maybe other menu items that will populate - but those are off the top of my head and I'm not in front of my LL system..

I'll add my view that numbering releases is the most sensible. Names can be cute, but are otherwise meaningless. Ubuntu uses release names, but theirs advance in alphabetical order, and so retain a sense of sequence.
