Linux Lite 2.8 Final Released

[rokytnji]

Thanks,torreydale. I guess I will just do a clean install too.

What would be helpful would be a terminal command or program that would list all my programs that I could print. I could check to see what is already installed in 3.0 and what I would need to install. I have an old list that I haven't updated recently. I could keep opening the menu to all then add to compare to list but of course the menu would keep closing. There should be an easier way.

Try out

Code:

apt list --installed

Then copy and paste terminal readout into a text file. Then print out the text file as a hard copy or copy to usb.

Code:

man apt

reveals all.

@Cooastie,

I'm sure I asked for something similar for future release.
"Software I have installed, Rather than is installed"

You can install another app/package, APTIK
There is an option for Backup & Restore Software Selections list.
it excludes default distro package, so you back just your own list, and restore that list.(NOT the actual packages)

It would be nice to have such a feature like that in Lite Control Centre / Software

Thanks rokytnji and Wirezfree. "apt list --installed" gave me too much info. I am not sure what I got with "man apt."  :-[

"APTIK" looks like what I need. I think I will just use it for making the list. I am not sure I will trust it to reinstall. I'll just use Lite Software or Synaptic or copy and paste into the terminal for that.

Thank you so much
I have a question, when LL 3.0 does release would this version be too much for a netbook?
Right now I'm using v1.0.6 and it's perfect and fast but I really want to try out v3.0 when it comes out.
My netbook is a Toshiba N245 1.66ghz intel atom CPU.  / 2GB RAM / 360GB SSD


Thank you.

I can't speak for version 3.0, but I can tell you that 2.8 runs very well on this old netbook, it runs an intel atom n270 processor @ 1.6ghz and only has 1GB of ram. Your specs are better, so I don't think you would have any trouble running a newer version. I would not expect the developers to radically change the minimum system requirements. Just my opinion.

Just updated.  I don't see much difference between 2.8 and 2.6 but I'm not a hardcore user.  Update went smoothly and I didn't have any issues before so it's all good.

Thanks Jerry and team!

Definitely would be a great feature to have !

Thanks a lot avj, good to know. I will most certainly install LL 3.0 when it's released

That is difficult to predict, June is still a while off. Download the image and try it live, then you'll know for sure.
