We
know each thing have its own feature and pros-cons. First of all Linux lite is open source so we are
free to use it and second thing is that It is based on Linux and we know the
power of Linux.
Reasons behind for Creating Linux Lite:-
“Three
reasons for creating” wrote by Jerry Bezencon.
- Show peoples how easy they can use a Linux-based operating system and dispel myth from there mind scary Linux operating systems.
- Create awareness about Linux-based operating systems.
- Last thing is to promote community.
Lite
is fully suitable for those people who are new in Linux and Lover of Open
source.
Based on Debian and Ubuntu, origin
is New Zealand and architecture is i386.
Come with us and take a look
Xfce 4.8 desktop
Xface
is awesome, popular and lightweight desktop environment in Linux, and Linux Lite 1.0.0 contains Xfce 4.8,
which includes powerful features and applications.

Installing

takes some time to understand the procedure in a new environment but Lite offers us a very simple solution: Menu, Settings, and then Install Drivers. I think this way is fabulous.

You
can download Linux Lite; it is free
of cost and available in a 32-bit version with PAE support a 64-bit
version may come in the future.
Five years of support
Ubuntu
Linux 12.04, code name “Precise Pangolin” is a Long Term Support (LTS) release,
making it a popular choice among business users and lovers of Linux. Similarly
for Linux Lite 1.0.0 code-named
“Amethyst”.
Updates
Similar
as Driver installation updates are very easy to install. We have to just choose
Menu option and click on Install Updates.
Installation of Linux Lite along with CPU
and RAM use
According to reviews 15
minutes is more then enough to installation. Process and questions asked are
typical of any Ubuntu distro, mostly cantered around preferred language, language
of keyboard, place for installation, use entire or going for partition, time
zone and location.
Given the distro has a lightweight desktop manager, XFCE and a lightweight file manager, CPU and RAM utilization are on the lower side - 1-5% and 130-140 MB. With Fire fox running an youtube video, a writer and a calc file open along with two task managers (yes, it has two system monitoring options), I could see about usages of CPU is 22% CPU and 260 MB RAM.
If you decide to give Linux Lite a try, you are most welcome to leave your reactions in the comments box.
