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!


Phreaky.

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 :)

When Vista came out, that's when I said,"I have had enough of Windows!".

It gets me that every time Microsoft comes out with a new OS, might as well throw the old one out. Linux is so expandable and we all work together to come out with things as sweet as Elive!

Elive 1.8.4 development released


-

The Elive Team is proud to announce the release of development version 1.8.4



This version has some important fixes and temporary ones


  • Fast Boot mode removed. it is not really useful sincer is not possible to accelerate the boot for generic machines (Elive is adapted to any hardware). It is only possible when a system is made for a specific hardware. You would also need to remove a lot of modules in the kernel and enable it in fixed mode, and a smaller kernel that loads faster, remove unused services and enable fixed ones. In other words: be patient with the boot of your operating system, at least you can maintain it without reboot for more than one year like this Elive user (see uptime), if you need faster boots you can try the suspend feature
  • Kernel: Back to the old mode configuration, if you have problems booting the last version of Elive your system should boot with this one
  • Drivers: Added 2 new branches of ralink drivers that are needed for the EeePC model 1000h
  • VFAT: Fixed a small bug that caused the /mnt/Windows_C partition to not mount by default
  • Installer translated to Spanish! (only spanish right now). Thanks to 'DammitJim' for this translation! More translators are welcome, you just need to run the Eltrans application from the Elive Menu
  • Enhanced Menus support for Windows applications, now if you install a Windows application you can see a new menu called 'Wine' that appears in your list of applications, with your installed applications/games directly listed
  • E17 Annoying bug with the mouse temporarily fixed with a downgrade, you should notice that you don't the options of reboot/shutdown/suspend/hibernate now... but of course you are using a development version :)


Note that this is a DEVELOPMENT version. Download the ISO o the development section
