Greetings from Sofia City, Bulgaria, Eastern Europe!!

[avramoff]

After giving about a month from my immense (literally) time, to get an idea what is all that Linux fashion spreading all around (we must admire Canonical for investing in Linux advertising), I have started with LinuxMint-Rebecca, then I`ve tried Ubuntu 14.04, then Peppermint (ohhh my...), ElementaryOS, and then back to Ubutntu, but this time 14.10.

My name is Miro Avramoff, I write for the first time in a linux community forum, and I have decided to do so, because I found LinuxLite - as a whole conception - to be a wonderful project, which is worth my attention and energy to explore fully, and as I could, to report for problems and generate IDEAS, which is my Bless from God. Thanks for admiration!

Beccause I live in Bulgaria, Eastern Europe - so very close to Russia, my first concerns about my already chosen primary OS - LinuxLite 2.2. - are about SECURITY. Staff like firewall, full encryption of the whole hard drive, which I couldn`t do through installation process, AND what options do we have with OpenVPN or other services like that, because at the time, we could only install ZenMate.com extension to our Mozilla or Chrome (ium), which encrypts and hides the traffic only of the browser, but not of the whole system though...

I think in today`s Cold War reality, when legions of Russian and Chines hackers groups are roughing around the NATO countries to "steal or destroy" - that`s their motto - we should pay more attention on our security.

Please excuse me for the long presentation. I hope I could be worthy for the ongoing development of LinuxLite, because I already have chose it.

Thanks,
Miro Avramoff

Thank you Altman, thank you Scott!

My 100+ Chrome Apps are running well, even with 30+ tabs open in 4 windows in Chrome 40 (stable), so probably that`s my OS... I`m already feeling like in home in LL2.2 ! ! ! Truly!

Hello avramoff,

Welcome to the Linux Lite community 

LL comes with a firewall named 'ufw', you can enable this in the CLI -
