I've been a PC user since the 5150, and PCDOS 1.0.  Been a Windows guy most of the time.  I spent 20 years in corporate IT.    I dabbled in Ubuntu/Linux Mint for a while around the time Windows Vista came out.  After Win 8/10 it was finally time to bail on Windows.  I've DL'd and tried most of the popular distros and now I think I've found the best one for me - Lite 2.8.  Thanks to Jerry and everyone who contributed to such a great OS.

Welcome,
You made a very good choice.
Great forum, with active devs/mods, it's what sold me on LL Smile

I noticed in another post you have a NUCi5, great little box, just done a build for a friend on a NUCi7
Few little issues, he wanted Triple boot, LL, Linux Mint & Win7(needed to jump through hoops for that on the M.2 drive)
Amazing little beast, LL Kernel boot in @ 4secs, and desktop @5sec
Upgrades WIP 2.6 to 2.8 - (6 X 2.6 to 2.8 completed on: 20/02/16 All O.K )

Thanks everyone for the welcomes. 

@Wirezfree - I bought this little box last October after my laptop fried and I really like it.  It's pretty fast for what it is - I even do a bit of gaming on it.  The fan rarely comes on.  After I wiped Win 10, LL 2.8 is the only thing I boot - but I know what you're talking about with the drive.
