Testimonials

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!

I have been using the latest version of the unstable branch. I use it all the time and have had no problems at all. All my hardware, including my SMC USB WIFI is working fine.

I have installed some applications that I use for my businesses. They installed fine, they run fine (LedgerSMB), Opera 9.50, Bluefish. The system is responsive and fast, just what I wanted.

Thank you.

Debian itself is new to me. Your Elive caught my eye, though, and I tried it. Cool. Everything works nicely, and all the most important things are there.

But, the story, and the kudos, don't stop there.

My family is basically Microsoft oriented. The wife and kids have always been hesitant about experimenting with Linux, of any flavor.

My youngest son (age 15) simply fell in love with the Enlightenment desktop, and the window management system.

To the creators behind this awesome distro, please allow me to congratulate you and give you my thanks, for creating this unique piece of software.

Elive is fast, super fast, freaking fast, is a gem.

Thank you!!!!!

My old Toshiba Satellite4030CDT laptop suddenly looks and feels like a modern computer thanks to Elive. What a difference from that boring Windows 98! Everything essential like screen settings and AlsaSound worked flawlessly after installation. I even got wireless lan from USB dongle whith help of Ndiswrapper and WICD.

The best distro i used so far! :D

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
