Linux Lite 4.2 Final Released

[Moltke]

Those screenshots look really nice [member=2]Jerry[/member]  I haven't even been able to try/install LL 4 yet, let alone 4.2...this freaking internet issue is driving me crazy!   I'm definitely going on a trip this weekend  to someone else's house with a working wired internet and download LL 4.2 ...can't wait to try it!

Sorry, 5 minutes later and I already have a question:

When I run  systemctl list-unit-files | grep enabled, I see some weird instances running:

network-manager.service                    enabled       
networkd-dispatcher.service                enabled       
networking.service                                enabled       
NetworkManager-dispatcher.service  enabled       
NetworkManager.service                      enabled   

So  network-manager.service  is different from  NetworkManager.service ??
I know they are, but why would someone need BOTH running?

And how about  networkd-dispatcher.service  and  NetworkManager-dispatcher.service ??
I know there's a small "d" letter there as well as the small caps/large caps, but why are both to be running?

I'm guessing one of the instances might be superseding the other or something like that??

You could quite easy Google each service to see what it does. You probably see the word network a lot and attribute that to repetition. Suffice to say each service is unique and necessary. Cheers.

Redshift is a nice addition to Lite Software, testing it for the first time tonight . And it comes fully translated for us non-English LL users.

Tried this last night for a few hours........A nice addition to the Distro.

Just when I thought Linux could not get much better, the Linux Lite team pulls out 4.2.
Thank you for all the people who work hard with Linux Lite. You make a difference!

[member=2]Jerry[/member], I have 21 partitions and 2 RAID1 volumes. My /etc is highly customized,
my /lib/systemd/system is very customized. This box runs kernel 4.19 with
Linux Lite 4.0

Is it safe to upgrade to LL 4.2 with this kind of configuration?

Sorry, I think the answer is that people who mess up their own LL systems like me, have to live with the results

MRW when I hear '21 partitions and 2 RAID1 volumes'
