Whoops forgot this part!! - geaves - 04-20-2017
I always forget the introduction part.....I can't remember where I came across Lite, but I thought I would try it on my old Compaq...I'm already using another Linux distro and have been for some time....I have a nas4free box and a headless Ubuntu server running a media server.
I still use W10 as I do IT support for a local school and some software I use is predominantly for Windows...I have tested it under wine but it can be flakey and a pia to set up, but generally I use Linux for everything. As far as Linux is concerned google is your friend, there's loads of information out there.

Thanks.....although it seems one can't use profanity no matter how egregious

o/ Hi! Dang it, I wish that I had never (!) sold mine (years ago!); now that I've seen your post. Used to have a Compaq, it was like a second machine - after (this) Gateway 2000. I'm talkin' ancient history, LOL (must've been ~20+ years ago, right).
Anyway, RLY short story: sold it to a (at the time, very-good, Finnish) friend && literally tomorrow he calls me and it's "broken". Had this nice 15'' monitor, with speakers attached (!), upgraded RAM, it was a marvel, LMAO. So, I pop-over and one of his mom's 2, or 3 dogs had marked their territory: the PC b0x had been placed on the floor... Oh my goodness, it took me maybe a full day to clean it (longer, probably!); BUT, got it working. Compaq, indestructible!! <3 :) :)
Alright, ok, I do not know why I'm spamming your thread (tnx!), just had to get that out there, hehe. =)
Best regards from Belgrade!
P.S.
Tried a quick run-through Google Images and it was nowhere-near as good as this (more squared, older. :)); but, I loved that computer, man... Ugh, tried to attach the 2 (two) images which I had found, however - what I got, was: An Error Has Occurred!
(& then the list of allowed attachments allowed, TXT and all that; I'll just put that in, instead. :))
Edit: Argh. Prolly should've posted this in Off Topic. with a reference to the OP /Thread. Blah
