Elive Downloads

”“

I must admit, I tried many linux and was about to give up, the problems about drivers, bugs, freezing so on, but I heard about Elive, I though I might as well give linux another chance, and I am glad I did! Its the only OS i need, and the only one I want :) Thank you, I am glad I donated, it was worth it.

When I first tried Elive I was skeptical. I was used to Ubuntu and Suse. However when I first installed Elive on an old computer, I loved its look and feel. Surprisingly it was an easy to use interface. I immediately installed it on my PC and it works great!

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 Elive.

I don't know what specifically you did, but I tried 10 different linux systems prior to attempting Elive and is the first time that my external hard disk was recognized correctly. I love you guys for it. You saved all my data! Thanks!

Some distros are set up like a house decorated for it's cover shot and photo spread. Elive is like a home that someone lives in. Users will discover the many subtle details only after living with Elive for a while.

I deal with free software and OS's for about two years and I must say I was really surprised when I tested for the first time Elive, it worked better than ANY Linux distro, and was even lighter (and more beautiful) than advanced systems. This distro is awesome, you really got to test to understand.
