My old Toshiba Satellite4030CDT laptop suddenly looks and feels like a modern computer thanks to Elive. What a difference from that boring Windows 98! Everything essential like screen settings and AlsaSound worked flawlessly after installation. I even got wireless lan from USB dongle whith help of Ndiswrapper and WICD.

The best distro i used so far! :D

You guys don't get enough props for this.

I keep coming back to Elive. Better than any other distro. E17 is just too goddamn beautiful.

Keep up the good work!

I must admit, I tired many linux, about to give up, the problems about drivers, bugs, freezing so on, but once I heard about Elive, I though I might as well give linux another chance, and I am glad I did! A couple of bugs, but what OS doesnt have atleast a couple? Its the only OS i need, and the only one I want :) Thank you, I am glad I donated, it was worth it.

Time is the best teacher, too bad it kills all of its students

Is Steve Jobs getting sleepless nights? He should after the release of Elive Gem. Mac users get a run for their money. Vista is no competition... What I liked the most about the distro is that all the packages run out-of-box. Even the mp3s, mpegs and 3gps run on livecd and it is so light on the system! The only disappointment being that the openoffice is not available unless you get the 'bonus disk'

Great work, all you devs... congrats!

Elive 1.9.02 development released


-

The Elive Team is proud to announce the release of the development version 1.9.02



The improvement of Elive for the next Stable release is proceeding smoothly, also profiting from the up coming release of Debian, to make a new Gold series release(based on Debian Stable). All that is needed now is to finish implementing a few more things and do the needed stability tests, and add more applications to the new translations system. Any help with this translations process is more than welcome (also for English), to get started just run "eltrans" and the translation process will begin.



This version includes:
  • Terminal: Fixed a bug which made the terminal unreadable (white background under white fonts). If you use a different terminal on a Elive system, such as you try to ssh into your Elive system from a gnome-based system, now the colors are adapted on the fly.
  • Happy Hacking Keyboards: Special support for Happy Hacking Keyboards (pro2) with a more intuitive remapping described at boot of the system (and the possibility to disable it). These keyboards are quite expensive but very comfortable, the touch is very good and has a special layout which allows you to work without moving around your hands much.
  • Thumbnails for RAW images: Thunar (the file-manager) now shows thumbnails of RAW images with a new added special feature that works regardless of format and model of the camera used.
  • Installer: (Warning: these features are still in beta stage and maybe not working correctly, please DO backup your system first and report any problem encountered)
    • Upgrade Mode: This feature has been long expected by all Elive users who want to reinstall Elive without losing users and files in the process
    • Migration Mode: This feature allows the user to migrate any Linux system to an Elive one. If the user installs on the same partition of the old system the installer asks if is needed to save users, configurations, files, etc.
    • Verification: During the system installation, there's a check of the installed files to verify the integrity.
    • Boot list: Small bug fixed about a double entry in Grub.


Note that this is a DEVELOPMENT version. Download the ISO in the development section
