Hi Jerry,
I can understand and even accept you want to advertise a lightweight operating system, providing a lightweight installation media also.
But wouldn't it be wiser - and this is just an idea - to provide Linux Lite without Libreoffice (which probably has a lot of weight in the final size of the installation media), and instead offer the language packages?
Given that this is a distribution that proposes to be an excelent alternative to Windows users and to be an entryway to the Linux world, having the entire system including the name of the programs, folders and divices, displayed correctly in their mother language, I consider to be very important.
And if we consider that not all users - who knows how many - do not need an office suite, I think it's more important to have the language packages included, over LibreOffice.
In my opinion Libreoffice should be optional and should be included in the Install Additional Software list. This way the users who needed an office suite would only have to install it through that fantastic tool.
This is just my personal opinion and my way to constructively criticize and contribute.
Keep up the excelent work.
