I spend a lot of time in front of my computer, tired of windows, i was looking for a user experience that bring me far away from the Gnome or KDE one. Truly, elive responds to all my needs. Debian is my usual way to manage services upon the network. But I need a gui to work on the same machine. For this purpose, Enlightenment seems to be the best choice. Indeed it is ! Light, customisable, and above all wonderful ! Working has never been so fun !

I started using Linux about two years ago and tested several Distributions. (OpenSuSe, Sabayon, Mandriva, Ubuntu... ) But none of them all was as BEAUTIFUL, RELIABLE AND FAST as Elive is! It's a really outstanding and impressive System! I also recommended it to my friends and they also like it very much! Great Work! Highly recommendable!
