Elive News

The Elive Team is proud to announce the release of development version 2.1.42

This version includes some misc features like:

• Bug fixes in the automatic date and time configuration
• If you move to another country it is automatically detected and your time is updated to the new location
• Updated firmwares to support a wider range of wifi's and other devices
• Automatic detection of lvm devices inside crypted filesystem
• Fixed a bug with thumblerd process, which can sometimes block devices from unmounting

And the best is yet to come!


We appreciate your feedbacks about the overall speed/lightness of the system compared to last stable version of Elive. You can say something in our chat channel directly from the running system. If you detect any lagging in the system please consider different setups like disabling composite (which you can select on the startup of the graphical system) in order to report improvements. We would also appreciate feedbacks about composite enabled or disabled in old computers, suggestions for better performances, and memory usage compared to Topaz.

Note that these development releases don't include the Elive Installer yet because it's not ready, we also didn't include the proprietary drivers for now (Nvidia/fglrx) but the opensource drivers should detect your hardware and configure your system perfectly.

You can Download this version at the development section.
Please remember that this is an alpha version of Elive which is uncomplete and may have errors, if you want to see a polished result of Elive try the Stable version instead.
Give us a comment in our chat channel, you can also improve Elive by yourself in github. Help us to make Elive even better!

The Elive Team is proud to announce the release of development version 2.1.23

The world has not ended, so now... Be Elive!

We are very excited to announce this very-early first development version of Elive and there are many reasons why we are excited! First, we want to remind you that the reason why nothing has been published yet about Elive is that there were a few things to be rewritten to ensure an overall stable system, which will make other programs more compatible and ensures this version works independently well. New ISOs can be built everyday!

And that's not all! Secondly, we have AMAZING new features coming, compared to the last version of Elive Stable 2.0 Topaz, but you need to keep in mind that this is the first development version, and it's still in an early alpha stage. We know that there are a few things to finish, so don't expect it to be working perfectly just yet.
