Linux Lite 7.0 Final Released

[Şerban S.]

Latest updates (on Dell Precision T1700)

I switched to the LL 7.0 install (Tray 2 on Delock 47230) and tested the state of the updates list and also the state of the PPA RSA upgrade.
Here is the output:

My conclusions to this:

1. I recommend to the less experienced users, to keep using the Linux Lite 6.6, at least as long as the Launchpad is still upgrading the security from RSA1024 to RSA4096.
The only thing I can help with this, is to keep you posted with the changes.
As I said before, I have two different Linux Lite installations (6.6 and 7.0) and a hot-pluggable Delock 47230 drive unit that allows me to switch from one drive to another very fast.
As for the system itself, I can keep posting the package updates as they are available.
As you can see, in today's update, a new kernel (linux-image-6.8.0-35-generic) has been installed and some other packages.

2. As for the ones that want to go with Linux Lite 7.0, I offered in the previous posts in this thread the solution for the Mozilla Thunderbird packages.
