LXLE 16.04 New Features and Improvements

LXLE is built upon Ubuntu Mini LTS releases. Lubuntu core is used as a starting point. This version LXLE 16.04 is based on Ubuntu 16.04. All software has been updated to their latest stable versions available for Ubuntu 16.04.1. Added PPAs ensure up-to-date applications of some of the most popular software, such as LibreOffice. Overall the applications have been streamlined and slimmed down, even with the inclusion of three small Assistive Technology programs, like a magnifier and onscreen keyboard. This version of LXLE was pretty difficult. A number of GNOME applications had to be replaced with their MATE twin applications to maintain a consistent user interface. Programs and solutions had to come from many different sources.
