Hello, dscott!

UIAM, Linux Lite 1.0.2 will continue to be supported through the end of the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS life cycle (April 2017), so if you want to keep using it a while longer, you should be OK. You can always download the 2.0 ISO, cook up a LiveCD/USB from it, and try it out to see whether or not what you think about it compels you to move up.

Sadly, at this time, there is no upgrade path from 1.0.X versions to 2.0. Therefore, you'll have to start over with 2.0 from a fresh install. Actually,  I'm surprised that the current Windows/( )ubuntu upgrade options don't cause massive damage and grief to those who choose them by making a mess of everything...

I have been on many.. many.. many linux forums
It was the great folks on here that help me decide to stick with LL

I am using Linuxlite 1.0.2 and love it very much.  It replaced win xp very well.  I am considering upgrading to LL 2.0.  How do I go about that?  Do just install over 1.0.2?  Is it any better than 1.0.2?  I am thinking maybe I should just stay with what I have since it works so well.  I would appreciate any help you may provide.
Thanks,
dscott

Thanks Scott(0) & Valtam.

These are things I've collected over time that I wish I had when I first started out, so thought they would be handy for newcomers.

This isn't really a tutorial, but seemed like the right place to put it.  (Valtam -- go ahead and move post if think it belongs somewhere else.)  Thought might be nice to have a handy list of information sources covering some of the basics in one place.  To Everyone -- feel free to add good sites you've found that might be especially helpful to beginners.
