I find it kinda funny that you don’t know much about Elive — it is *the* E17 live distro. Or, it has been for the last two years until these others came on to the scene.
Fun little article but more screenshots and some explanations of the differences etc would have been nice. Thanks for the read though!
I Swear, I hadn’t heard about it…In fact, it’s the ONLY one here I haven’t heard of.
Screen shots are my bugbear around here…I’m awful at design and don’t have a lot of time to post once I sit down, so I’m always hurrying to get done.
So what are some of the other differences? Other than Cosmetic, I don’t delve to deeply into them….
Elive is THE premiere experience for Enlightenment desktop.
It is the original and all the others are imitators.
Elive cost money! Unless you are willing to get a stripped down almost nonfunctioning version.
Elive might be great but it still is opensource and they make you pay to get the stable version.

Well, That’s how they can afford the video then.
I’ve replaced them with Sandor Lisovszki’s PCe17OS Multigamer: Gotta love the Euro-Disco soundtrack.
Thanks
I want to thank you for this article because I may never have found OpenGEU that is the best operating system I have found yet. I am running it now and almost could not stop playing with it last night.
Now you got my interest in PCe17OS.
Thanks again.
Kyle
I’ve tried both openGEU and Sandor’s PCe17OS, but you’re forgetting the most stable E17 distro around: Mandriva. In addition to supporting GNOME, KDE and XFCE, it also supports Enlightenment currently, with improved support already underway for this fall’s Mandriva 2009 release.
I run Mandriva Powerpack and have found the Mandriva team to be about the hardest working at giving users what they want. Mandriva is once again rising to the top of the distro heap.
I’m a former SUSE/Ubuntu user and Mandriva is my distro hopper stopper.
Thanks. Glad to Help.
Also, Whoever left the comment about forgetting Mandriva: Thanks, but you got erased in a boatload of spam. I’m Going to have to turn on comment approval for a while.
I won’t want a Vista clone for the next billion years.
