Hello everyone!!

I'm VERY pleased to join this community. I downloaded and installed LinuxLite only yesterday on an old Ideapad 300S, and I couldn't be happier. Everything worked out of the box and, most importantly, LinuxLite FLIES on this humble Celeron N3050, with 2GB RAM. I'm amazed!

I took my first steps with Linux back in 2006 just out of curiosity. Frustrating experience at first. With no one to teach me I did some silly things like trying to install programs by downloading them from the Internet! hahah

I can't count how many distros I have tried during these years. What I do know is that Linux has made my life sooo much easier. I'm a secondary school teacher and I see how my fellow teachers suffer with their Windows machines on a daily basis.

I have made some contributions to the community here and there, a wallpaper sometimes, some translations, that kind of things, which I really appreciate. That may be the reason why you develop a close relationship with Linux. You can invest time and effort on it, and see it grow and develop. I loved that from the beginning.

I think that my greatest achievement regarding Linux has been convincing my school to use Linux to recycle some old Windows XP and Vista computers. They gave me some extra time in my contract to install Linux on our library computers and maintain them!

Let's see where LinuxLite takes me now. I'm leaving some screenshots of my Ideapad installation in the screenshots section of the forum.

Yes!

I do that too, restoring older, modest hardware to blazing speed and ease of use by wiping away Windows and replacing it with my own little slightly-modified Linux Lite mixture. Schools, local businesses, and charities really appreciate the savings, not only in finances, but also in the simplicity and security of the little things like installing software from repositories rather than web sites! Well done!

This is very much what the best Linux communities are all about.
