Thanks for the replies guys.
LL, if the menu seems disorganized maybe it's just to make Windows users feel more comfortable. (chuckle) I'm a regular Debian dashboard user, and though I have been working on Windows network systems for years, I still get confused with Windows menus every time I go back to them. The redundancy in Windows drives me nuts. Making Firefox the default web browser in Windows 10 requires changes in four different Windows menus. I know you'd have to agree that the Windows menu system is the most ridiculously over implemented, so Linux Lite seems simple by comparison. I don't know exactly what you are attempting with sftp, but it is probably not Linux Lite, maybe just a network praxis thing I could help you with. I'll take a look at gThumb. I'm looking for something like that to add to my customers boxes. As far as Windows problems that's just XFCE. I use four desktops, and the tray desktop switcher. Makes things quick, though I still like Debian dashboard activities switcher better. Somewhere in the Linux Lite packages there is a Window switcher for the tray too. (maybe add to panel) Let's you choose any open Window or show them all.
Mike, thanks for the reply. I think Linux Lite support is the by far the friendliest for new Linux users anywhere. There are some great people here. I like to jab the Arch guys sometimes just for fun. Not meant as an insult. Have a few buddies who play with it. Want them to develop for Debian instead.
