I have just joined the forum so I hope this is the right section to use. Recently I installed LL on my laptop, which is a test computer. (I have a desk top as my main work computer.) Just a couple of comments.
As I was installing, the program correctly recognised that I live in the UK. Great. However, in use, I found that the date format was not as expected. So I checked and found that the locale had been set up for the US. I had to change it to GB. Odd. Then, of course, in Orage the first day of the week became Monday. I like my weeks in any calendar to start on a Sunday, so I had to sort that out.
Also, I prefer the xfce-terminal rather than the default Lxde one. I looked through synaptic but it was not there. So I ran all the updates, which took quite a while. Then when I searched again the xfce-terminal was now in the synaptic list, so I was able to install it. Odd again.
These are just comments, not complaints. I have spent a lot of time since, installing extra programs and configuring the desktop. So far everything is great. Many thanks for all the hard work. LL may well finish up as my main distro.
