Greetings Linux.org
Been using Windows OSs for years without problems or complaints although Windows 8.0/8.1 and Windows 10 ain't the Windows OSs I'm accustom to and things change.
Anyway I've been reading about Linux and decided what the hell I'll give it a try so I dug out the old Windows 7 computer and set it up.
This Linux seemed to fit the bill.
I downloaded the iso and learned how to make a bootable DVD and after a few attempts I got the computer to boot from the DVD.
I played around with LXLE for awhile before I installed it which was pretty much straight to the point.
I figured out how to update LXLE and enable the firewall by cruising through the menu.
I'm still feeling my way around and learning about the software that is already installed.
I'll figure all of this out the more I use it and If I screw it up I'll reinstall it.
Lets see about me ain't a whole lot I'm 65 years old and retired this year and enjoying it.

Revive that old PC! < The LXLE Desktop
LXLE Linux, Revive your old PC. LXLE is a remastered version of Ubuntu/Lubuntu LTS releases, using the LXDE desktop interface. LXLE provides a complete drop in and go operating system coupled with style, speed and capability. It's light on resources and heavy on functions.
