Introducing myself
#1

Hi Linux Lite Followers,

as a relative novice to Linux in general and Linux Lite in particular forgive me if I seem to be asking naive questions.  I have spent most of my professional time on computers, mostly Windows-based, and have just turned to Linux since I have a little time to spare/kill, having retired recently.  I am married, have two children and four grand-children, and there are nine computers of different make, model and power in the house, plus a couple of smartphones.  I live in Germany.
So, this is the environment I am in.  I have some elderly hardware (has grown old with me :) ), and the more recent O/Ss are just too demanding for a Pentium-M, for instance.  Consequently I have looked around for a less consuming, yet applicable environment and found Linux Lite.  My 14-year old DELL Latitude D800 with 1.5 GB memory and a 60 GB HDD seems to be quite happy with it - even XP didn't run so smoothly.

Of course there are some snags I have run into, some I which I have been able to overcome, some are still there.  So I will post them as they arise.

Thanks for bearing with me  ;)!
