The Elive Team is proud to announce the release of the Stable version 2.0 Codename Topaz.

After a long and intensive development we can now enjoy the results!

The New Stable version of Elive has a huge list of improvements. Its ease of use makes it suitable for any kind of user along with a totally new Linux experience for those who have not tried Elive before.
We offer an absolutely different way to use an operating system where the logic and the intuitiveness are first class.

Along with being simplistic, ergonomic and powerful, Topaz will bring your computer to a completely new level making Elive a system not only good for the inexperienced user but also for the professional or advanced one.

Topaz is packed with tips and handy apps that helps the end user in swiftly doing what they want, when they want. Working fast is one of the main goals of Elive and an active users community is there to help you.

With e17 it's easy to create your own look and fully customize your system as you like!

Try it and adopt a new userfriendly revelation !!

Changelog since the last Stable:

• Autolaunchers: Entirely rewritten with better stability and more features
• User Configurators: A lot of user configurators added to configure anything, like touchpad, FIXME
• Drivers: Kernel 2.6.30.9 with support of special hardware and other features like tuxonice (hibernation), reiser4, ext4 and many more
• Compiz !: If you want to use the Compiz features (ecomorph) you can do it directly on the fly without the need of a special version of Elive, on the other hand, we recommend to use it only as a demo since it makes your system unstable.
