The best os ive ever used, converted me from windows, many thanks

I deal with free software and OS's for about two years, and I had experienced installing and using several distros, flavors and ways of thinking about free software. I must say I was really surprised when I tested for the first time E!Live - it worked better than ANY Linux distro, and was even lighter (and more beautiful) than advanced systems, like NetBSD or FreeBSD. This Distro is awesome, you really got to test to understand.

I've been using Linux for a few months now. As every newbie I have installed and toyed with many distros in that time and Elive is the only one that I've always keep in my machine.

Elive is (by far!) the most RAM efficient OS I have ever used, not to mention its great looks.

Thanks to everybody that makes Elive the great distro that it is, I'm looking fordwards to the next release!

It saved my life and saved me from viruses worth 50000 Bucks

Elive est vraiment super ! Cette distribution dispose d'un style sans reproches mais aussi d'une grande souplesse et d'une performance encore plus haute que Debian !

Exemple : J'ai une Webcam Logitech ! Ni debian ni ubuntu ni opensuse ni fedora n'a su la reconnaitre ! Elive l'a reconnue IMMEDIATEMENT !

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
