Linux Lite 3.0 Beta is Released, quick access to folders from the application menu and access to a hardware compatibility database

Linux Lite is an open source and freely distributed operating system based on the popular and highly acclaimed Ubuntu Linux distribution, but using the lightweight Xfce as its default desktop environment.
Availability, supported architectures, boot options

The distribution is available for download from our website as two Live CD ISO images that can be burned onto CD discs or USB flash drives of 1GB or higher capacity. Both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures are supported at this time.

The Linux Lite bootable mediums are designed from the ground up to start the live environment with default options in ten seconds from the moment they are booted. To access the hidden boot loader, press any key during that timeout.

Default boot options include the ability to start the live session with default settings or in safe graphics mode, run a memory diagnostic test using the Memtest86+ utility, as well as to boot an existing operating system from the fist disk drive.
