Reviews, Linux Lite 2.2

[Snubbi]

Another Review of Linux Lite 2.2 http://mylinuxexplore.blogspot.dk/2015/0...-good.html

Overall
Linux Lite 2.2 is a really good fork from Xubuntu 14.04 LTS with a lot of utility PPA's added along with a professional interface. Lite offers a performance as good as Xubuntu 14.04 LTS and can be a good alternative for users looking for a ready to use distro. Most of the third party PPA's I could think of, are added to Lite 2.2. Further, to make life easy for novice users, Lite 2.2 offers a meta-package Install Additional Software to enable installation of critical packages. However, the application choice by the developers is not typically intended for a lightweight system. Possibly the developers can add a meta-package to install lightweight applications for users intending to use Linux Lite on old computers.

I definitely recommend Linux Lite 2.2 for users looking for an easy to use XFCE distro with all bells and whistles added. You can download both 32 and 64 bit versions of Linux Lite from here.

Thanks Snubbi, overall a fair review. Someone should point out to him the following:

Compositing is enabled by default

Compositing is not enabled by default.

One thing to notice about Linux Lite is that it doesn't ship with exactly with lightweight packages. LibreOffice, Thunderbird, GIMP and VLC are not that lightweight and may require a more modern system to run well.

We try to strike a balance between a lightweight overall system whilst offering a number of lightweight applications. Considering our target are Windows people, familiarity is essential. LibreOffice, Thunderbird, GIMP and VLC do not require a modern system to run well.

One caveat of Install additional software is that when I selected multiple packages to install from the list, I had to enter password for every package selected.

Not true, you only need to enter your password once after launching Install Additional Software from the Menu.

Linux Lite 2.2 is a really good fork from Xubuntu 14.04 LTS...

We are not a fork of Xubuntu. I think that comment irked me the most given how LL is built from the ground up. LL starts off with a 27mb base and is built one application at a time. It's kinda like calling Richard Stallman the 'Father of Open Source' lol

There will always been inaccuracies in Reviews, no biggie as people will find out the way things are for themselves. Cheers
