I had Windows XP and like many was looking to move on. I had read in magazines of Linux and thought I’d try this. I started with Gnome/Ubuntu 11 and then 12 for about a year on a dual boot. At first I was amazed at being able to install though found it difficult to add the printer and skype. Then found that Gnome / Ubuntu was just getting bigger and bigger taking longer to load and this reminded me of Windows. I was looking for something smaller / quicker so looked on the net and in youtube for alternative distro’s. I looked at Xububtu, Kububtu and also Mint. These were fine but not quite what I was seeking. Then I came across Linux Lite tried it and was very impressed. Despite being based on Ubuntu 14 it was simpler to operate and to install Skype and my printer. It really is terrific using this replacing an old ex Windows XP machine. Thanks for such a great product.
