Testimonials

Congratulations on the making of such a great distro, and thank you for your hard work. I hope you can continue with it.

I love Elive too. Best features for me are:

- Based on Debian Stable & E
- desktop (exactly what I want)
- all multimedia works out of the box
- bundled applications are very thoughtful. For example, most people who own computers these days also own a digital stills and video camera, yet most distros don't come with the tools needed for editing home m

Just wanted to say that I love ELIVE! I just got it installed and have been toying with it for an hour or so, and I have 0 complaints so far. My only issue is getting wireless working, and thats only because Broadcomm sucks for not making a linux driver like every other wireless chipset maker. Anyway, I will try to post here as much as possible with issues, fixes, and ideas as they crop up. With the community's help this could be the greatest OS Distro EVER!

THANKS ELIVE TEAM!

Elive is definitely the best looking distributions available. It uses the Enlightenment desktop environment. I have never used Enlightenment before. The ELIVE default desktop is absolutely gorgeous! The stars in the sky twinkle and move throughout the very nice looking background. The application dock at the bottom of the screen is cute, in fact better than Mac OSX. I am soon gonna switch over to Elive. I love it.

Keep up the good work Thanatermesis. You have done a fantastic job by producin

I have been impressed with Elive and e17 for quite a while...

Yesterday I did two things:

1. I re-installed Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005

2. I installed a dual boot to Elive Gem 1.0

Both installs went without event, I was most impressed with how Elive set up a custom grub menu, with the 3 options:

1. Elive Gem 1.0

2. Windows XP Media Center Edition

3. Memory Diagnostic test

I was also impress

Last year I downloaded a Elive CD and was pretty amazed by it. although it did crash alot but I saw the potential :)

Now, a few month's ago I bought a HP DV9064ea and I thought by myself let's give elive another run and everything runs out of the box once you install it, unbelievable even the integrated webcam seems to function.

Great job with this fine distro :)

Elive 1.5.0 development released


-

The Elive Team is proud to announce the new development version 1.5 with big and important changes:



Big changes on Elive



Warning: This is a very experimental Elive iso. The boot system is entirely rewritten, working but not finished. A lot of auto-detection/configuration parts are not implemented yet. This version is not ready to be installed, this is a release for testers and collaborators who want to discuss it at the Elive Testers Group

  • Debian Testing: Ever wanted more updated packages on Elive? ok, we switch to "Lenny" that has A LOT of packages (all?) are updated! We can't describe them all here, if you want more information about this switch, have a look at the actual ideas on this temporary page

  • Elive installer: When you select a partition to install Elive on, and it already has a version of Linux on it (ANY version, and you want to replace it), and it uses a separate /home partition, there's an option to 'migrate' this system. This means that basic configurations and all the users with the files are transferred to your new Elive installation. Note: This feature is working but not fully implemented, we need testers, especially with ubuntu systems.

  • More special hotkeys for special laptops working by default (we need testers!).

  • Firefox: Nice feature that show thumbnails of the sites in your search results of google!

  • A more integrated system of translations in Elive. Anybody is VERY welcome to be a translator, you just need to send a email to with a username and a password to use, Thank you for helping us with Elive and have it translated into your native language! :)



Note that this is a DEVELOPMENT version, and especially that it is not ready for daily use. Download the ISO from the development section

You are welcome to join our Testers Mailing List Group to give us feedback about this development version or anything related to it that you want to report. Help us to make Elive even better and with more frequent releases!
