Stunning Linux Distro Continues Development

Reliable, safe, stable. These are terms we might expect to hear when learning about new Linux distros. But to hear the word “Stunning” is unexpected.

Lobby4Linux.com has been active in an attempt to not only simplify Linux, but to incorporate an easier menu and help system. We have described what this “Linux on Training Wheels” or “Linux-Lite” would look like. In our search for such a distro, we stumbled across Elive. Elive is a Debian-based distro that incorporates both the E-16 and E-17 Enlightenment environments.

This isn’t the distro we were looking for…but that’s a good thing, because it’s one that seasoned Linux Users will love.

From first boot, Elive shows the promise of an excellent Linux distribution. The graphical presentation is nothing less than stunning. If you are a fan of the Enlightenment desktop, you really have to see this distro. If you have no idea of what I am talking about…you really have to see this distro. Far from being a finished product, Elive still captures the essence of Linux and the user’s imagination. The “tweak-ability” of Elive seems endless, and the surprises it holds in store for the new Elive User are unique.

We have the good fortune to interview the developer of Elive. Having received the interview questions answered, Thanatermesis apologized profusely for his poor English. I assured him that I would “fix” any problems I found and present it to the public in a proper format…. Source: LXer
