There have been many changes across the LTS releases since 12.04.
Here is a look at what Linux Lite based off 14.04 may look like in the future...

Standard Menu



Whisker Menu

Need a bit of help here please before I jump in at the deep end and lose my data  :-[
I am currently dual booting windows xp sp3 and mepis linux (debian based) and would like to go to a single operating system like LL that will run my xp programs and linux but I don't want to lose my bookmarks and contacts/contacts etc.
If I install LL onto the existing linux partitions ie: root/swap/home will it overwrite or preserve the data in the home partition ? If it overwrites the data how can I save it/reinstall it ?
Once I have done this how do I import my bookmarks/contacts etc from xp ? Once this is done it's a simple matter to delete the windows partition and expand the linux partitions to use the whole hdd.
Hope this makes sense, thank in advance for any help 

LinuxLite user for some time now (got here from old location notice)

Replaced wireless usb from an Alfa - G ... which is Ralink to an Alfa N usb which is also Ralink...
(Ralink Technologies 802.11n usb wireless)

Windows 7 picked it up instantly but I have lost wireless with LL completely.

Don't know how to install these since the inintial LL installation took care of setting up the previous wifi configuration.

There is are 2 included Linux driver tar files one in a folder titled 3070 and the other in a folder titled 2770. No instructions included  :-\

My LL 1.0.8 install to hdd has just started asking me to login and I have tried a number of things but am still locked out.

The words were:

Chart created in LibreOffice.

OK Here is whats happening. I had a 32 bit dual processor system that just crashed on me, I think. I have done everything I can think of to try to get it back on but it just won't come back. So I have the Hard drive from that computer on this computer connected by a Sata to USB converter. I can access all the files I need to. I have already baked up or copied my Home folder. What I am looking for now is the files for Thunderbird so that I can get all the e-mails transferred over to the new system, there are certain e-mails and drafts I want to keep. WHere or how do I retrieve them?

Oh yeah and after I do this since it is the bigger HDD I am going to do a complete new install using LL 1.08

Thanks.

A great job is being done! Thanks. 

I read on Facebook, "Linuxlite Re-install. We won't have an upgrade path until we become a more mature, established distro. This could be 2 or 3 versions away"

I appreciate all the volunteer work required for LL but could someone explain to a newby what it means why LL won't have an upgrade path for a while?  ???

OK I guess I had better introduce myself. My user name is really not complicated I derived it from my family. O.H. was my grandfathers name, short for Olton Hoyt first and middle respectively. My father was named after him. That's where the Jr comes in, of course I am my fathers son so there ya go.. ohjrson. Any questions? just ask....

On another note I have been playing around with the Linux OS systems for about I guess three years maybe four or 5 can't really remember when I started. Ok maybe I started in 2007 At any rate I am no closer to being any kind of know it all. Nor am I fluent in even a 1/4 of what some of you guys are doing. I like Linux OS and Ubuntu simply because BILL GATES and Windows has nothing to do with them and it is free.... Never mind the fact that these OS's are geared for the user and not the corporations. I absolutely love what Valtam has done with Linux Lite. His creation is phenomenal, LL is by far the best I have seen of all the Ubuntu, Unix or any other operating system. The mere fact that he was able to combine some of them together to make one comprehensive OS is brilliant!!!

OK sorry went on there. But yeah I have tried a lot of OS and this is the one I am hooked on.
Great Job Valtam.
