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 1.7 development released


-

Thanatermesis proudly presents the Elive 1.7 development release!



After many silent weeks and relentless testing by our tireless users of the 1.6 and 1.6.2 development releases, we have now reached 1.7! So testers, line up at the iso check-out line and get to it! Thank you for all your hard work in helping me make Elive a better distro with every release!



OK, let's get down to the new stuff...

But first, the bad stuff... There is no installer! There are so many changes in the overall system that the installer has to be totally rewritten. I will get on that a.s.a.p, it will be the big thing to test in Elive-1.8. But I NEED your 1.7 test results and impressions in order to make a better OS!, remember that we have a very good website at http://bugs.elivecd.org to report problems or request features

Read the full changelog because this is a full-featured version of Elive with some long awaited features working out-of-the-box:
  • E17 menus [first try] ready! Some users have (while others have not), noted that the menus of E17 are ugly and incomplete, the feature of correct menus is now implemented on Elive
  • Suspend / Hibernation: This is a feature that a lot of users have wanted on Elive for a long time. Now it is implemented by default, working simply out of the box if your computer supports these features. Enjoy it directly on your E17 menu or by closing the LID of your laptop!
  • Icons: There's a bit of a workaround in the icon theme. Not finished yet, but looking a lot better :)
  • Languages: In the boot options of the Live mode, the language selector menu is enabled by default again
  • Translations: As you may know, there's a new tool to make translations in Elive called eltrans, we invite you to try it because it is very easy to use and fully graphical. Italian, Dutch and German users can see the boot messages of the live mode now on his language directly, thanks to: assasukasse, AlexAnteMachina, and awolters. More translators are wanted and welcome!
  • Eject CD: fixed in the live mode, shutdown
  • Autolaunchers: have been reimplemented
  • Printer: issues fixed on elpanel
  • Elpanel: also got a few updates
  • Switched to ESU!: EFL version of Gksu, thanks to PrinceAMD
  • Like always, There are more changes, but too minor or internal to mention here.
