I bought the Intel NUC NUC6i5SYH.  I got the following config:

16GB DDR4/2133 RAM
256GB NVME SSD
2TB Samsung Spinpoint HDD
It comes with Intel Iris 540 integrated graphics.

I need Windows for one application so I installed that on the SSD. The first hurdle was that the BIOS didn't like the NVME drive so I had to do a BIOS update (from within the BIOS).
The next hurdle was installing Windows, which also didn't like the NVME drive so I had to get a driver for that also.
After that, Windows was fairly painless and the NVME drive is very fast.


Then on to installing Linux on the HDD.  I was expecting problems as I had read online that the Iris 540 Graphics lacked drivers and GRUB was likely to cause issues also.
I was really expecting to have to install the latest short-term support version of Linux (15.10 at the time of writing) but I decided to try my latest Linux Lite DVD anyway (2.6, 64-bit).
Well, it installed and with no graphics issues - or any other issues as far as I can see.  Everything (including GRUB) worked first time.
This was BEFORE I had connected to the internet to download any updates or drivers.

This is excellent and I'm most impressed.  I was expecting big problems but had none at all.

Add to that the fact that Linux Lite comes ready to run in VMs (no need to download VirtualBox Guest Additions) and, for my purposes at least, it's by far the best Linux distro available.

Top stuff.

Edit: Forgot to mention no sound through headphones.  Easy fix found at (https://www-ssl.intel.com/content/www/us...05499.html):

1/ Add the following groups to your account: audio, pulse, pulse-access, video, and voice
2/ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/alsa-daily
3/ sudo apt update
4/ sudo apt install oem-audio-hda-daily-dkms
5/ reboot

Hi all,

I had problems getting Bluetooth devices working on Debian Jessie. So I tested a range of distros Xubuntu 14.04/15.10, Lubuntu 14.04/15.04, Bodhi and Linux Lite.

In Bodhi bluetooth works too but is a pain in the *ss configuring extended monitors. So I ended with Linux Lite, a nice suprise. First distro that works with my bluetooth keyboard without tweaking. Steam included, great!
Big thanx to the Linux Lite team!!

So far I love Linux Lite and use it as my main distro.
I have Vector Linux running on a older laptop and Bodhi in VirtualBox.

I have able  to print on the above printer but it is not  scanning.How to set up the scanner .Please help.Thanks ;D .

Sorry, this got posted in the wrong thread and I can't delete or move it. Can someone with the authority move it to the appropriate place for me please?

Am trying to 'network' an LL2.8 notebook to my 'home' desktop PC (with LL2.8 ) using a 'wired' connection to my router, to copy over some image-files.

Consulted the LL network tutorial "Accessing a NAS device" and found the laptops if address but when I follow the given instructions smb://192.168.0.? where 192.168.0.? is your NAS's IP address. and type them in BASH (on the desktop) I get a "File not found" (even with 'sudo'...)  Am I missing something?

Would welcome any advice, (I'm not a real 'command-liner'...but willing to give it a go  )

Cheers, Tom

I have a HP stream 11 notebook that I want to install Linux lite 2.8   
its spec is ---



Processor  ---  Intel® Celeron® N3050 with Intel® HD Graphics
                            (1.6 GHz, up to 2.16 GHz, 2 MB cache, 2 cores)
Memory  ---  2 GB DDR3L SDRAM (onboard)

Storage  ---  Internal drive  ---  32 GB eMMC
                        SD card    ---  32GB 

  It has Windows 10 - 64bit pre installed . I am considering replacing Windows 10 with Lite 2.8  .
Which would the best version for me 32bit or 64 bit . I assume the UEFI version is not yet available but is it likely to be released soon 

I installed Linux Lite yesterday and i must say this is the best Linux OS with the xfce desktop. It is low in memory, have an very good hardware support and works great.
