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.

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!

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 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!
