Have used it since 2007, on and off<br />Bodhi Linux is by far the best implementation so far, having left Elive now.<br />It's the "slickness" that gives it the edge over Gnome and KDE and its just different to Windows. Confuses the hell out of Windows users.<br />The only thing that concerns me a little about the whole Linux movement is the recent meteoric rise of iphone and ipad and there glassy glossy DMs as against the somewhat cartoon like Desktops that Linux Distros end up with. After all its always the eye candy that interests the uninitiated and they do love those glossy looking apps.<br />Enlightenment may be worth a revisit for those who dismissed its earlier incarnationszenmasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04824488077914025195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-25659535836990258112011-05-22T12:16:10.209-05:002011-05-22T12:16:10.209-05:00I guess I got here because I searched for composti...I guess I got here because I searched for composting instead of compositing. <br />But anyway, E17 rocks now. <br />I installed Bodhi linux for the first time a few weeks ago.

And you don't need to use the "film strip" menu. You can also use the GTK theme or LXAppearance theme panel to change all the font and menu bar details that you are complaining about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-22962491290620290882011-05-15T00:54:12.841-05:002011-05-15T00:54:12.841-05:00I have tried Enlightenment on a number of distribu...I have tried Enlightenment on a number of distributions over the last couple of years. I really like the responsiveness of E17 and the eye candy, but there are some things about it that drive me crazy. <br />The film strip style configuration menu is just plain annoying. I'm a left-handed computer user. On many distros, the control to switch mouse buttons is there, but it doesn't work. To be fair, many non-E17 distros out there have issues with this. Also, has anyone tried using E17 on a laptop with a projector display at the same time? It makes presentations a pain. Many E17 configurations use a "wood" theme often with tiny black text on tiny menu bars with high screen resolutions that is impossible to work with. There doesn't seem to be a quick way to resize with resolution. <br /> What I am saying is that I think E17 is fantastic, efficient, beautiful, and even sexy, but most of the implementations I have seen have made it more effort than it is worth. I have hope, and I keep checking for an E17 that will appeal to me.Glenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183191364941623296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-52226625567568581102011-05-07T12:31:37.098-05:002011-05-07T12:31:37.098-05:00I would give it a try ,but Elive is (near) dead an...I would give it a try ,but Elive is (near) dead and 32bit-only, MacPup and Bodhi are 32bit too and unity17 rpm? never again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-24833185714692565742011-03-11T21:15:03.384-06:002011-03-11T21:15:03.384-06:00I must say I'm really delighted to see E17 fin...I must say I'm really delighted to see E17 finally work and in a real fit-all choices (software bundles).<br /><br />Congratulations, not only a perfect timing but also the perfect choices for the real problem (a wide variation of CPU power and RAM).<br /><br />May I suggest to find a way one may create a auxiliary set of CD's with the packages bundles?<br /><br />My suggestion is to configure download methods (synaptic, browsers) to get a list of packages from CD... and to download them and as a set so it may be placed on a directory, USB flash disk or CD.<br /><br />This is Not a priority but would make a diference, after the priorities with Bodhi base distro are filled. <br /><br />Damned, I even like the name!<br />It is really a good job, not forgetting the E17 team, who deserves a bigger applause getting it so efficient. <br /><br />BTW: My favorite has been XFCE, and I wish a blend of Enlightment libraries with it, in replacement of most GTK routines.

Recently I switched to Pclinux's Enlightenment version which is solid but needs a lot of visual configuring to look presentable.<br /> One thing that is true about Enlightenment is that it takes a little getting used to the configuration menus. Enlightenment does things differently than other DEs, but once you become accustomed you realize the Enlightenment way is actually superior.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-26685961929326287702010-11-09T06:37:28.576-06:002010-11-09T06:37:28.576-06:00Hi,

I have very rarely had any stability issues and have found the system just flies, along with simple, powerful visual effects and the incredible configurability mentioned in the article. The versions this year also include the "Everything" app starter (a lot like krunner), which I find very useful too. Ecomorph rounds it off if you want even more effects. FOr those who use Debian and Debian derivatives, incidentally, there is a pretty up to date E17 package in sid (that is, the unstable repositories), which you can just install without compiling. I have switched to GNOME, KDE4, XFCE, etc. in between and always come back to E17, for its combination of speed, elegance, light weight and configurability, which I have so far found unmatched.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-75934390394650005992010-11-01T14:33:48.182-05:002010-11-01T14:33:48.182-05:00Hi Jeff,
