Linux Lite 3.0 Beta Released

[Valtam]

Xscreensaver - was excluded because of previous conflicts in settings with light locker (many threads on this) and because it has such a dated look. IMO, it needs an overhaul in design and appearance, it needs modernizing to bring it in line with todays gui's that other softwares have.

Compton - this very nearly got put in as the default compositor. I thought a lot about this, and it almost got the nod. However, in the end I felt it a huge risk to switch, and then expect it to work so well on all the computers (and new ones) that previously ran Linux Lite. In hindsight, it would have been better to try this in the Beta. I'll look at it again for 3.2 Beta so that if it does bomb, I can put back in Compiz to the 3.2 Final.

Burning the ISO - I'm not overly worried it doesn't work on Yumi the way it has in the past. We still offer the same packages so to me that suggests the software (one or more of the Ubuntu packages) somewhere has changed. Avoid multi-boot flash drives. Please use software that people have had success with to date:

- Unetbootin: https://unetbootin.github.io/
- Win32 Disk Imager: https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/

On Linux, I use Image Writer with no issues - http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/upstr...t2_all.deb

Loving this feedback so far folks, awesome stuff
