I am new here but am very impressed.  I run a small office and it has been my goal for a long time to find a professional-looking distribution that my windows-familiar staff could learn to use easily.  Thanks for producing what you've done so far, and I look forward to hanging around.

One thing I thought I would mention is that if the goal is to go after former windows users, and you want to make them feel at home, you might want to consider talking about the latest Kingsoft office for linux version -- http://www.wps.com/

If you set the user interface for "classic" , the word processor and the spreadsheet look for all the world like Microsoft Word and Excel from about 2003 -- very professional looking and feature rich.  I've just started playing with it so I can't vouch for it, but boy does it make me feel at home from my windows days.  I'm not a fan of the "ribbon" interface that Microsoft adopted (many years ago) but I gather that Kingsoft's ribbon is pretty familiar-looking too.

can anyone tell me how i can get conky up and running please. thanks

Just an experiment.

I been tinkering with linux since 2003. I'm a power windows user that's always kept my eyes on linux. Reading the changelog and installing the latest distros has always been leisure for me. However I only found a few distros to be usable and still, most do crash (I know it's usually the blame of the hardware drivers but still annoying)

I love linux mint, but recently found linux lite mentioned in the latest edition of Linux format. Someone was just flat out praising it how some obscure hardware they had wouldn't work on any distros except linux lite. It just caught my attention.

Now, I installed it on 2 older laptops. A Gateway NV59 and a HP Pavilion DV4-2160US 14.1-Inch Laptop. I know if i installed a XFCE based ubuntu or even mint it probably work just as well, but something about linux lite. Maybe it's your modification of the UI/icon placements/where certain things are, etc. It is just awesome. I'm surprised it's not that popular hence I came on here took the time to register and wanted to just give the people behind the project a big thank you! 8)

Hi,

This is a first for me after numerous installs.
I normally set the preference for: View new folders using: Last Active View
and then whenever I open Thunar, the column widths are set how I like them
On a new clean install of LL2.2 columns are just reverting to narrow columns,
I adjust them, close them, re-open and they are narrow again.

Any pointers/tips/guidance appreciated.

Thanks... Dave

Seems I can t settle Xcreensaver after several attempts on new fresh LL 2.2 Finale install I did today even if I changed parameters & after had it removed & reinstalled , a 1st with xscreensaver issue on my end .

Kwin or Compiz is the question.Can install it on my current laptop?I have already tried some video tutorials on you tube to no avail.I was wondering if this old laptop that I rescued from a storm can handle it.I put my system info in the attachments.
Thanks in advance  ;D
