I had been distro-hopping for a while, but have installed lite since 2.0 about a year ago and have stuck with lite since. This is a pretty good stretch since my distro-hopping started about 4 years ago. Prior to lite, I had found the now defunct crunchbang as I thought they had a great combination of apps offerings somewhere between minimalism and bloat. I also liked the way they offered choices through scripts during install, which in a way was like offered in lite 2.0 and 2.2 but after install ( i don't see it in 2.4, maybe I haven't explored enough yet). I liked the dark theme, pretty much like lite does. However, I've always drifted towards xfce, being an old-fashioned point and click guy; crunchbang used openbox but I installed xfce instead, and it was rock solid stable as it used the stable branch of debian. The only downside was not being able to use bluetooth for tranferring photos easily from my smartphone and had to look for alternatives for that. Finally, I decided to try lite as it used xfce as a graphical front end by default and uses lts ubuntu as base, which solves the bluetooth issue. And it looks really nice right out of the box. The only issue has been with lightdm in both my 32-bit laptop and 64-bit desktop, which is solved by installing gdm instead. At this point, I think lite will stay in my boxes for a while.
