Testimonials

Greetings folks, I'd just like to say a big thankyou to the developers who put together one of the nicest user experiences I've ever come across.

My old desktop (prior to its theft) was as follows:

Abit KV8 AMD Athlon64 3000 - 2Ghz 512Mb ram Fx5200 gpu A couple of Hard drives and optical drives Networking curtesy of an el cheepo Realtek pci card.

Worked flawlessly out of the box, didn't have to prat about with codecs or drivers, just left me to get on with my wor

Elive will be the choice of present generation.

I waited a long time for this. a Linux project to get renewed older hardware with a good desktop experience. Thanks to this i use an old laptop with great satisfaction for general purposes.

Thanks to Elive, nice job :)

I want to thank you for all you do. I hope that all the work you do is also fun. I can tell you that this OS even though it isn't perfect, it is pretty awesome. I have been using Elive for a couple of years and have enjoyed seeing it mature.

Again, congratulations!

Elive 1.8.8 development released


-

The Elive Team is proud to announce the release of the development version 1.8.8



This version of Elive solves 2 important problems found in the last versions: e17 has fixed a very annoying mouse bug (more exactly with the focus) and it is now possible to configure the network again (for now, we use network-manager instead of exalt, but only use dhcp and not static mode).


  • Boot options: Feature added: changedevice: it allow you to change the device in the boot process. Imagine that you want to boot from an USB stick but your computer doesn't boot from USB sticks, or you have problem in the middle of the boot of Elive using CD's, with this feature you can boot from the CD and before the init process starts, you can eject the CD and insert a USB containing Elive to continue the boot process.
  • Hotkeys: Mute key working now
  • E17: Updated to the last version of the SVN, now some modules like battery, temperature, cpufrequency.. are enabled only if your hardware supports it, if not, they don't appear on your desktop.
  • File Manager Previews: Now Thunar can preview XCF (gimp native format) images, and Nintendo-DS roms
  • Automounters: This is a very requested-to-fix feature, you can now umount and mount devices without problems from thunar while the autolaunchers system of Elive is still working. If you have any problem with them now, like no-permissions, you should report the bug immediately.
  • Kernel / Drivers:
    • Kernel: Updated to version 2.6.25.16
    • Machines: Special suppport for MSI WIND laptops
    • Misc Hardware: Improved support during boot process to detect special hardware/machines, if you couldn't boot Elive in one of your machines, you should try this version.


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