"Linux Lite 3: The Ideal Platform for Old Hardware and New Users"

[trinidad]

I have LL 64bit on two other computers including this Dell. The 32bit is on a Debian cluster of two all Intel old (circa 2005 -7) 3G cpu HP's, dual SATA boards, and kept at 32bit for disk continuity shared with 32bit forensic db's. A lot faster than the 64bit on this 500g SSD G260T 2.2G cpu Dell dual booting with windows10 anyway. I've installed both 32 and 64 LL to several computers. This one would be the little woman's toy. The next UEFI I do for someone else will be 3.0 LL. LL is not my regular system, (Debian8 is) but I just like LL, appreciate the mostly clean and complete coding, and stability, and recommend it to windows users for personal use, whose systems I deal with in business, one that never ends even though I'm retired.

No offense guys but this is a Linux Lite forum so you might want to move this Kubuntu stuff to http://www.kubuntuforums.net/forum.php or somewhere else.

Your right sorry to bother you. I`m outa here. I`ll post somewhere else. Pax

Yes, the thread WAS highjacked, and it DOES drive moderators BONKERS. Regardless, it DOES go on.

Most moderators take it in stride. Believe me, they WILL chime in if you threaten to step on their last nerve.

I try to view thjngs from a perspective that we're all guests in Jerry's house, because when you think about it, that's what it is.

To get back to somewhere approaching back on-topic, some of you may not know that we have an LL-powered US state government entity. They're saving MAD MONEY on Windows licenses alone...

Yet another nice review  8)

Off-topic:
Perhaps this thread could be split by one of the mods if the off-topic stuff is annoying people?
Then the interesting conversation about other distros could continue on this forum for those of us that don't visit those other distro's forums & it wouldn't annoy the O.P.
It's human nature for a single topic to wander to different subjects in the natural course of conversation, be it face-to-face conversation or via a keyboard like on a forum, and that is something that'll never change.

Hello!

We all drift, but I follow an old, unspoken rule from the Fidonet days known as LTMM, or "let the moderator(s) moderate".

Without going into too many details, if you're unemployed in this Midwestern state, LL is a part of your life whether you want it to be or not. However, THERE, LL DOES make hard times easier for you...

I know of at least three major midwestern libraries that run LL on their user network terminals and nearly every one I have been in across Ohio, Indiana, and even Wisconsin use libreoffice, due the cost of MSoffice institutional. Firefox ESR is also becoming standard. Linux Lite is also a popular choice for high school systems, and again almost every local tax supported institution I know of uses Libreoffice. Linux Lite is being adapted to these kind of institutions across the country because of cost considerations, and it is damn stable, and user friendly. Metropolitan school systems are broke in general, and there is a limit to what what they can afford anymore, that for the most part MS exceeds. They are either stuck with MS7 or earlier, and minor MS office applications. It is certainly a place where linux is making inroads into the institutional user base, but again this part of that user base is broke, and in some ways is the institutional third world in the midwest. Same story, different day. In that way Linux Lite is becoming a public service as I have said before here.

Hello!

Thanks for the added input. It is my hope that as the use of LL expands within government entities, they will feel led to help financially towards LL's further development, if only in their own best interest...
