Good afternoon, I'm trying to join 3 .VOB files
From the terminal and something I'm not doing well because they do not join.
I'm putting cat * .VOB> file.vob but it does not work
Let's see if they know (sure if given that I always receive a satisfactory answer in this forum) I'm mistaken.

Thank you very much.

Linuxlite-2.8 with xfce
I want to use kde
Would someone direction which app to download and install

There is a short and very positive appraisal of Linux Lite at Techradar, it is mentioned as one of 10 in the article "10 of the best lightweight Linux distros". 

Quote:[...] if you have a machine from the past 10 years with at least 1GB RAM inside you should find it a snappy, worthwhile option.

Try it on modern hardware and you'll be amazed at just how quick it runs. Given that it's just as happy running from USB media as it is installed on a hard drive – and, indeed, more than happy to run in a multi-boot configuration – it's a free burst of speed that's worth checking out.

After I've replaced a defect hd, I now have also installed Linux Lite. I've learned SuSE in 2000, 2001, but have not used it, because it won't accept a PC, which was accepted by Windows 95. In the last years I've passed a linux certificate from Webmasters Europe and tried or used for a longer time several distros: Debian, Linux Mint, LXLE, Parsix and other. Now I'm very happy with Linux Lite. It seems to be absolutely smooth and trouble-free. Cool stuff. 

This forum is packed with useful tech resources when it comes to solving a problem.  Here's how my new 3.4 installation went today.
Installer was crashing everytime just before the end of the process, so I started poking around the LL forum. And thanks to an old Coastie post, I read that sometime LL ends up being installed anyway even after a crash message.  So I tried installing LL3.0 alongside LL2.8 on my 10-year old Compaq Notebook.
To be sure, the installer crashed but I also noticed that the partitioning was completed.  I couldn't check my Grub menu since I don't see it when I boot up. But again, thanks to a 2015 post here, I found out how to get back the Grub screen. And there it was!  LL 3.0 installed properly.  A bit of a rocky road, but the results make me very happy!  The last step, updating from 3.0 to 3.4 barely took 36 minutes and 522MB :-D

Just getting into programming and Linux. Any help or pointers books whatever would be greatly appreciated.

I am just getting into programming and linux. I really like the OS but I am having like 3 min boot up times.  Anyone that can help it would be greatly appreciated.

I just installed this OS last night, and am having the chance to get acquainted with it today. All updated without a hitch! Plus it even has the BluRay capability! That's very impressive!

I come from a Fedora background. I finally had to switch from them, due to the age of my computer; plus I was sick and tired of having Gnome bog down all the time. I guess I was due for a change wasn't I? 

I also used to be a beta tester for Windows 7. I saw quite a lot in that beta test, and having lost my $2500 64 bit board due to hackers during that beta test, I switched to GNU/Linux - and I haven't looked back since. Yes it's been that long since using any Microsoft OS.

For those of you just coming from a Microsoft OS you're in for a wonderful experience with this OS. It is a bit of a learning curve; but if you're willing to put in the time and effort to learn Linux Lite, you will be rewarded for your efforts. Plus the community here (and the GNU/Linux community as a whole) are very nice people. We really want to help you when you need it. We were in the same position as you when we first started to use GNU/Linux - so you have nothing to fear.

I am using Linux Lite 3.2 right now.  If I decide not to upgrade to 3.4 will I be able to upgrade from 3.2 to 3.6

thanks

I installed zRAM through Synaptic Package Manager.

When I do a .......

[sub]cat /proc/swaps[/sub]

I get ..........

[sub]Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/sda5                              partition 3981308 0 -1
/dev/zram0                              partition 752016 0 5
/dev/zram1                              partition 752016 0 5
[/sub]

Looks like the Swap is not used...

I did this after install.....

[sub]gksudo leafpad /etc/sysctl.conf[/sub]

AND added this .......

[sub]# Decrease swap usage to a more reasonable level
vm.swappiness=50[/sub]

Any Help Appreciated.

It's good to see the release of Linux Lite 3.4 Final.
I've been using a 3.4 Beta installation and have kept it updated. But I assume that I must do a full install of the Final because the release notes say "There is no upgrade path to or from Beta releases."

I have just noticed, though, that there's no indication in the installed OS that it is a Beta rather than a Final. Even the System Information app shows "Linux Lite 3.4" instead of "Linux Lite 3.4 Beta". If I didn't know that I installed the OS before the Final ISO release, there's no way I could tell. Presumably, if I forgot to install 3.4 Final, I would later find myself unable to upgrade to v3.6 using Lite Upgrade. There should be a clear and obvious way to tell the difference between Beta and Final. Either that, or allow the Beta to be upgraded to Final.
