Success #2 on installing Lite

[smhardesty]

I'm happy to say that I got Lite 3.4 - 64 Bit installed on my Lenovo G50-45 this afternoon. I had trouble yesterday getting it on my wife's B50-45, but finally got it. I had no trouble at all installing on my G50. Everything went silky smooth. I did all the updates, tweaked the look of things a little bit, then even did a full home directory backup and set a restore point. I don't normally do either one, but figured it would be nice to be able to roll things back if need be. I'm going to do the backup and restore on my wife's laptop maybe tomorrow, then I'm considering copying the backup and restore from both laptops onto a USB flash stick for safe keeping off the hard drives.

I just can't say enough about how totally impressed with Lite I am. I've been using Linux on every PC in my house for about 15 years now. Over that time I've tried, and used, a wide selection of distros. I've been pretty loyal to Mint Mate for the last few years. I'm not sure what happened, but both of the laptops we have started experiencing real sluggish behavior. It started with version 17.1 and continued as I upgraded to 18 and 18.1, which is why I started looking for an alternative distro. Really glad I did. My wife's laptop is like a whole new critter now. My G50 is unbelievable with Lite on it.

So to each and every person involved with making Lite what it is today, THANK YOU!

[EDIT] I decided to give you a [Thank] for creating Lite. Probably should offer more than a simple [Thank].

Thanks, Jerry. I truly do feel at home. Not just due to Lite, but the forum has been kind to me already as well.
