It's good to see the release of Linux Lite 3.4 Final.
I've been using a 3.4 Beta installation and have kept it updated. But I assume that I must do a full install of the Final because the release notes say "There is no upgrade path to or from Beta releases."
I have just noticed, though, that there's no indication in the installed OS that it is a Beta rather than a Final. Even the System Information app shows "Linux Lite 3.4" instead of "Linux Lite 3.4 Beta". If I didn't know that I installed the OS before the Final ISO release, there's no way I could tell. Presumably, if I forgot to install 3.4 Final, I would later find myself unable to upgrade to v3.6 using Lite Upgrade. There should be a clear and obvious way to tell the difference between Beta and Final. Either that, or allow the Beta to be upgraded to Final.
