Hello!
All I can say is that the OS has come a long way in the year I've been here (02/14/14). Where did the time go?
Properly tweaked, LL works wonderfully in a business environment. However, I imagine its original purpose was to be used as a home user-oriented product, and, thankfully, that remains the primary focus.
14.04.2 is due to be released any day now, so all this will become relevant again soon enough, I suppose.
'Happy anniversary' to me...

I used to have similar issues when I had my business with multiple machines. But, I named them and had a physical worksheet on a clipboard with each machines stats for example: " Fish 1-Linux Lite (1.0.)" then I put the name physically on the machine so I would not get them confused. I had to make the time to do this but in the end it was well worth it. Whatever the version name is should not be that big of an issue if the work is put in to keep track of these machines. I am currently on Linux Lite 2.0 because it works for me and keeps me productive. I use the terminal commands to keep my system updated and upgraded and so far that works well for me. Thanks for this wonderful Distro!

I'm fairly new to LL. Not a geek, just a user. Tried most of the distros, use Mint as my base, but am really enjoying LL.
As to names and numbers.
I don't use the 'buntu names, I just watch the numbers. If you must add names please don't drop the numbers or make me have to convert them. If'n it was mine I'd stay with the regular numbers.
Really nice work people. This distro took less time for me to get acquainted with than any other I've tried. And that's why I decided to get in on the beta level. Never done this before. Always waited for the release. Hope I can be of some assistance somewhere along the road.

Hello!
ALL Linux Lite point releases are ALREADY considered to be 'LTS' versions. I cannot speak for the development team, but to minimize confusion, I believe the current system of nomenclature works quite well.
As for upgrading, the decision about whether or not the minor changes and enhancements a point release brings make it worthwhile to upgrade is left to each individual LL user. If an easy upgrade utility to 2.2 wasn't available, I'd still be running 2.0...

I didn't read through all of the posts, so sorry if this is redundant. How about a naming convention like: Linux Lite 2015.1 , Linux Lite 2015.2 and so on.

Hello!
Unless I am mistaken, the current nomenclature will remain in place. There's just too much potential confusion to try and fix what ain't broke...
