Linux Lite & Rapberry PI3

[Wirezfree]

[size=1em]Probably one for the Devs.??[/size]

[size=1em]Out of curiosity how complex would it be to get Linux Lite on a Raspberry PI,[/size]

[size=1em]especially one the the new Quad Core 1.2GHz with WiFi&BT Raspberry PI 3.??[/size]

[size=1em]I know there is a Debian Distro, and various others.[/size]

[size=1em]But there is a Ubuntu 14.04 LTS distro for the PI[/size]


Edit:
Just found this Ubuntu Mate for Raspberry PI3
I'm curious, don't want to detract from Linux Lite Aims.

Hi Dave

Here's a link to Ubuntu Pi Flavour Maker (https://ubuntu-pi-flavour-maker.org/) by the Ubuntu Mate people. Not Linux Lite exactly but possibly an XFCE version and other ubuntu flavors for the Pi. I haven't tried any of it but it looks promising.

@Scott,

Thanks...
I actually found that, It seemed to imply that you could use it with any Ubuntu based package.?
So I emailed the dev earlier, with reference to LL
He came back very quickly, and gave me some instructions(below) to modify one of the PI Flavour Maker scripts for LL,
But then commented there are no LL Binary Package for ARM,
I guess that's where the resources that Jerry referred to are needed to make the ARM Binary..!!


Anyway it was worth a shot... No not going to leave LL

Code:

Add the Linux Lite repo to your /etc/apt/sources.list -

## Linux Lite Repo for Linux Lite Codename Beryl
deb http://repo.linuxliteos.com/linuxlite/ beryl main

Open a terminal and do:
gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 86A02625
sudo chmod 1777 /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d
gpg --export 86A02625 | gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring \
/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/linuxlite.gpg --import
sudo chmod 755 /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d

...but couldn't the binary package be copied over from an Ubuntu Mate iso disk, 
as part of the LL install on the Raspberry?

I'm thinking of a parallel example here, where UEFI files were copied from an Ubuntu
14.04 iso for the installation of any of the LL2 series, in a UEFI enabled
LL/Windows OS dual-boot, as described elsewhere on the forum (see Tutorials).

Maybe I'm being naive here ...
