Jerry et al,
I received two phone calls over the holidays from persons interested in downloading and installing LL. Both were running Windows 10 on their home boxes. They had both gone to the LL home page, and with their Edge browsers could not wade through the ads. Selecting "allow all" sent both of their browsers to a blank page loop. Talking them through the problem over the phone was a nightmarish proposition to say the least. I eventually sent them to distrowatch, where they found the download link for sourceforge. Both have successfully installed dual boot systems now. The ads at distrowatch, and sourceforge were no problem. I tested the LLhome situation yesterday myself and indeed was able to produce the blank page loop on the little womans Edge browser as well. It is not a user friendly situation for Windows users to be driven from the LL home page. Check your advertisers for malware update viruses (redirect trojans) and heuristic trojans with Kaspersky, not Clam. This will find Windows malware if it is there without false positive problems. Blank page loops are almost always redirect malware.
I had no problem with the LLhome from Debian 8.5.
