Testimonials

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 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 1.9.29-compiz development (compiz) released


-

The Elive Team is proud to announce the development release of Elive-Compiz version 1.9.29



Much work is being focused on improving the next stable release of Elive 2.0, yet we are glad to have available an improved Compiz version of Elive:


  • Hibernation: Big rewrite of the hibernation support in Elive, with many extras such as cleanup of old hibernated partitions, live mode detection and warning requesting if the user wants to continue with losing the hibernated state
  • Installer: Lots of bugfixes and features in the installer:
    • A special feature to reinstall your favorite packages at every reinstall (upgrade mode) without the need to do it yourself manually
    • Some packages are not wanted by the end-user like cups, ssh, or hibernation... the user can select them in order to remove them from its installed system, this will also boost a bit the boot and also made the system more light
    • same IP configuration for your network like in your installed system (for the live mode too)
    • saved the extra entry's of your /etc/hosts file into your upgraded Elive system
    • ssh Host Key saved after you upgrade your Elive system
    • Better management of the Swap partitions
  • Boot: Fixed broken messages (dialog boxes) in the boot of the live mode
  • Webcam: A simple webcam viewer is added on your Video menu of applications
  • Intel Graphic cards: Improved 3d acceleration
  • Compiz: The cube effect works again (but not enabled by default, since the other one is much more stable)
  • VirtualBox:
    • Guest tools installed and configured by default. This means that you can boot Elive within VirtualBox with improvements for mouse and screen
    • Using: If you install VirtualBox in your Elive system (not a default application), it will work without the need to do any trick by loading modules or adding your users to a special group
  • Kernel version: 2.6.26.8-elive-686 (revision 40)


Note that this is a DEVELOPMENT (compiz) version. Download the ISO from the development section
