Linux Lite 2 Performance Review & Some Queries

Why the synaptic package manager is not functioning in the same manner with Mint or Ubuntu

Can you be more specific about problems you encountered with Synaptic?  I used to use Ubuntu a few years ago and currently still use Mint in addition to LL and have not experienced any difference whatsoever in Synaptic performance between them.  In addition, over the years I've periodically tested and used more distros than I can possibly recall -- Synaptic performed no differently in any of them.

Installation with 3rd party codecs and multimedia support takes hell a lot of time. This was not the case with Ubuntu or Linux Mint.

Again, can you be more specific?  What types of codecs are you referring to and what process did you use to install them.  Like bitsnpcs, the only thing I've ever needed to do is install the "Restricted Extras" package.

Additional Application Installation is not a bit easy. Though the promise is so, I am finding that the Additional Software Installation does not work seamlessly.

One thing I've run into on LL installations is that a few of the included repositories (needed for installing some of the "additional" programs) seem to be pointed to incorrect address, which causes error message and failure of install attempt.  Is that the problem you ran into?  (That repo problem also causes error messages when refreshing Synaptic.  Is that the issue you had with Synaptic too?)
