It an honor to have The 'Linux Lite Creator' On this forum . This Distro is very unique.
Thank You for all of your extremely hard work and devoted dedication developing Linux Lite. We appreciate you.
                [member=2]Jerry[/member]      Together we are LINUX.    Alone we have an OS named Linux.

I was reminded: ls -l [{" THANK YOU*"}LINUX_TEAM]  :-[        8)
                  8)    */ ls -l [{" THANK YOU*"}LINUX_TEAM]      8)

It isn't just Jerry all by himself, though.  He leads a team that has created this beautiful masterpiece and model of simplicity.  I think it's only right that we acknowledge their contributions and extend our gratitude to them as well.

It is the philosophy behind LL that is the key.- Linux newbie oriented.  Oh, I do wish it had been based on Debian though; we might still have a 32bit LL into the future  
Jerry, re you "being humble".  As one that has absolutely no idea what goes on under the bonnet of LL- it is us poor mortals who should be humble!!   Kiwi power!

Nix and IBM mainframe at work around 1986 through 1994. My first Linux at home was a boxed cd set with manuals of Suse around 1998, 99. My first Linux Lite was 2.6.

My Windows XP had a virus and I took it to Staples to have them clean it. The guy who did it asked if I'd ever heard of Linux. Nope. He said to check Distrowatch.com. I did and then I went to the library and found Mepis. I started with it and then went to PCLinuxOS. Then tried Ubuntu and settled in on Mint for a bit. I kept trying other distros then found Lite.

Thx Jerry and the crew
I still check out other distros but they wind up getting compared to LL. Thanks for the simplicity and the care y'all put into it. LL it is.

at the time i just started using windows XP home.
then a person at the last place i worked started talking about  linux stuff, i asked a few questions, so i went to the internet and seen there was all kinds , so when i had a second pc laying around (a dell dimension 2400) , i then tried PCLinux os, scientific linux, and a couple others i cant remember.

then my husbands dad gave me a windows 7 PC, and then i grabbed that (at the time) free upgrade to windows 10 home, windows 10 was ok and all, but what a major head ache it was , soooooooo i went to Fry's and purchased a brand new PC, then turned my windows 7/10 pc into a LINUX LITE 3.6, ha ha , i was happy ever since ,  8) 8) .

then later i turned my brand now PC into a LINUX LITE 4.0 now 4.4 , now have had NO windows PC in the house for year or more , or give or take a few , i'm having a hot flash, still waking up hear on one cup of coffee, sorry folks, lol.

well thats my sleepy story hugs, i love linux...... hugs !  :-* :-* :-*  .

oh i for got something, i want to say thank you to the whole linux team for all their time and hard work and dedication to "Linux Lite", also on youtube i want to say thank you to "sneekylinux" , it was his encouragement, help and advice over  the course of time  that help me ditch windows all together ...... hugs every one .

Jerry is the 'creator of Linux Lite  Which is the most difficult part of everything especially creating an operating system.
After that huge task having the dedication and expertise to be the lead developer and the team of developers that
accomplish the end result of maintaining security updates, Bug fixes and other software problems.
To develop a 'stable OS is a huge accomplishment. The greater accomplishment is keeping the OS 'Stable.

My first Linux was Xandros Linux on an EeePC 701 4G. That was also my first computer. Still running today.
