Linux Lite has been mostly great, and I have been showing it to people, who tend to be impressed. One thing, however, is really NOT impressive, and for most people it's a deal breaker - this is the problems I have when I want to copy files from (for example) my flash drive to (for example) my second internal disk. I cannot do this with drag and drop, period. However, I can COPY the files on the flash drive and then paste them into the folder on the internal drive. What in the world is the problem here? According to the permissions, I can do anything I want to all of these files and folders, so why won't the drag-and-drop interface let me?
When I show LL to friends, this part is a real problem, because we're often copying mp3s or pictures over. It's really not impressive when it won't let me do this and I have to do a kludgy workaround to make it happen. Plus, since (IMO) this shouldn't be happening, it's irritating. And unfortunately, it's what people tend to remember about the OS. "Oh, yeah, that was the one that couldn't copy files."
I don't have any trouble copying files within my system disk, only with my other internal disk. It's FAT32, if that helps.
