Re: Linux Basics: Useful Beginner Information - dscott - 07-10-2014
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

Personally I think more so here...
because of the aims of LL and it's target audience. kudos to Valtam & team.
I have been on many.. many.. many linux forums
It was the great folks on here that help me decide to stick with LL

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...

Here is another useful site for learning Linux: Linux tutorial. The site doesn't specifically covers Linux Lite but most of the stuff is similar.

Thanks for that.
Sadly some pages load to a welcome page then all links are dead, may need updating.

Thanks for pointing that out. The only one that seems to no longer work is http://linuxnewbieguide.org/. Will remove it from list.
Did you have problems with any others? The rest seemed to be okay as far as I could tell.

The link on GNU/Linux Distribution Timeline (http://futurist.se/gldt/) doesn't appear to be relevant anymore. The most recent timeline is 12.10.
