I'll be updating tonight ;)
I've been running 2.6 beta on 1 system for about a week and 2.4 on another system for close to a year (since 2.2).
Great OS!!
On a side note...
I'm still new-ish to Linux and not sure if this was something in Beta or not, I haven't attempted to reproduce in 2.4, but... Last night I was messing with the wireless (typically this box is wired) and Unchecked the "Enable Wireless" option of the network manager. Since then the option to enable has gone away completely (Its not a laptop, FN+F2 isn't an option).

After my trip to Austin Texas ans my Linux-Lite laptop wireless failed to connect to my sons wireless router.
Let alone not even see it.
When I got home I installed WICD which is easier for me to trouble shoot and use. YMMV from mine though.
Code:
$ apt-cache policy wicd
wicd:
Installed: 1.7.2.4-4.1ubuntu1
Candidate: 1.7.2.4-4.1ubuntu1
Version table:
*** 1.7.2.4-4.1ubuntu1 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe i386 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
my trouble shooter is
Not sure if a update killed network manager for me. I tried re-installing and looking through /etc/resolv.conf.
It was just easier to install WICD and call it a day for me.

Hello,
just starting to play with LL and so far it is impressive. Seems to work almost perfectly on my laptop where many distros failed.
I was trying the new SystemBack tool, but in a live session it doesn't seem to work. The interface buttons are all grey out, the only button available is the "system repair". I was trying to create a live system with my software installed but it doesn't seem possible in live. Did anyone achieve this? I can't install anything on this laptop unfortunately... and i'm running LL 2.6 in 32 bits on a FAT32 usb device in case it helps.
From what I could gather on the internet, it seems that SystemBack is either missing some packages (not sure which) or the kernel is not compatible. Anyone had more luck?
thanks
