Purchased 3.8 on DVD and had it shipped to me.
I've been a rush to get an old machine up and going for the grandchildren, and decided to go with Linux Lite.
Once I got that machine up and running with this OS, the machine hasn't had much rest.
Thanks Jerry, we're loving it!!!

YW, and I'm sure I'll be ordering 4.0 as well.

Welcome, I think you will find the forum members very helpful with any questions you have.
I use LL 3.8 (32 bit) exclusively for all the older and even some of the newer laptops I use for my study group youth in South Africa. I chose to stick with this for the following reasons:
1) because people are usually donating older laptops the majority have been 32 bit (although I am now getting more 64 bit ones) and most commonly the HDs are smallish (50 GB to 250 GB).
2) I really like "Systemback" and the ability to make restore points as I have had to resort to using these at times.
3) Until I no longer have 32 bit machines it is easier for me to run one L.L.OS on these laptops as it makes it easier to trouble shoot issues with any given laptop I have placed with a youth should a problem arise.
Hope this helps,
Janet

I have only one 32bit laptop that is working well. Excellent keyboard. I some time ago switched from LL3.8 32 bit to Debian 9 with non free drivers etc. as I found the Debian to be "lighter" with quicker responses etc. Works very well as a basic machine. . Supposedly will be supported until June 2022?
Have not as yet tried Debian 10 32 bit, Not therefore sure what effect it will have on performance.https://wiki.debian.org/LTS

2007 - Fujitsu Siemens V3405 Laptop 2 GB Ram LL3.6 32bit. Now 32bit Debian 9 + nonfree.
