Please pt-br not instaled... :-\ :'(

Hi all, have been using Linux Lite 1.6 and only just moments ago i installed Linux Lite 1.0.8. Don't blame me for the username lol the blame is my grandson's.

Good Morning,

New user - I am using Virtualbox and running 32bit.  Linux Lite is awesome, every thing just works, even my HP Scanner/Printer. 
The one question I have is on start up choices.  It highlights Previous Linux and above that is Generic or something ( I should have written down the exact choices) so curious as to which to select.

I just wanted to say, I haven't been using lite for to long, but I keep it in my disc collection.  I just have to say that I love the new 2.0, I'm running it in a virtual machine and so far it is the best version of Lite I have used!  Thanks for the great work guys!!!!

Was looking around the 2.0 beta I created on a USB drive this AM and noticed the relinux package sitting in /ETC - is this a functional capability?  Having a way to remaster an installed system to dump on a USB drive is very important to me as I take care of a lot of computers in the family.  Being able to setup the OS with the programs I use and then remaster it for installation on the other machines in the family is a huge timesaver.  Not many distros provide this capability out of the box so I hope LL is one of them...

No, I'm not an XP refugee.  All of my hardware is newish and 64 bit - I just prefer lightweight and efficient in an OS.  I've tried MANY distros and like a lot of folks I continue to look for the perfect one.  Yeah, I know it probably doesn't exist but the search is kind of fun.  I take care of near a dozen computers in my extended family and just recently converted my wife and son over to Linux.  Right now I have them on MX-14 which is a great distro with some very nifty features but it's based on Wheezy and only 32 bit so there are limitations.  I DL'd the 2.0 beta this morning and booted it on USB to give it a look and I like what I see so far.  I'm going to install it on my generic test laptop and give it a whirl.

As for me, I'm an old guy on my 3rd career and I worked as a programmer (in DOS) for over 15 years.  Haven't written a line of code since the late 90's though as I'm currently an Accountant.  All my computers are laptops ranging from an AMD E-350 netbook to a Core I-7 beast with 8GB RAM, 2GB Nvidia video, and 750 GB drive...

Hi All,

Does Linux Lite use aspects of Linux Mint? Some of the programs and design have the Linux Mint look so I was curious and wanted to know. Thank you.

Hello all,

Is there any way to auto update LL? My users will need to have this automated if at all possible. Thank you.

Release Announcement

Linux Lite 2.0 Codename 'Beryl' Beta is now available for download and testing.

This build is the work of 4 months of constant development and the implementation of the best ideas from the team and the wider community. This also marks the beginning of our own repositories for our custom software so that changes and improvements to the operating system can be offered regularly. Now Lite User Manager, Lite Manual, Lite Software ( Install Additional Software and Remove Additional Software) and Lite Fix can evolve more easily to meet the needs of the user.

In this release we wanted to combine the newest versions of well established and supported software like LibreOffice, Wine and Gimp so that people have access to the latest features in those programs. In Linux Lite 2.0 you get the carefully crafted combination of current software in certain programs on top of a stable operating system. We think this is the happy medium people are looking for between long term support whilst also having 'the newest stuff'.

Both of these iso's come in at 699mb, that's cutting it close to mark when it comes to fitting a modern operating system onto a cd.
As a result we've had to search the entire filesystem for where we can make savings. One of those areas was the icon cache files. To regenerate these cache files which should give you a performance boost, enter the following command after a fresh install of Linux Lite 2.0 Beta:
