Debian Linux<\/a> with the E-17 and E-16 Desktop Environments. E stands for Enlightenment-#<\/p>\nWhen I first wanted to try ELIVE 1.0 I had to go jump through hoops to get it. It was either use an unstable or donate. I finally decided to buy a CD from a vendor in France.\u00a0 I got it about a month later. Two days after I had probably put it down or given it to my friend Tom Dryer. So I decided that I was going to download it again… I finally gave up with looking for the unstable versions download as I find the site confusing. I finally “donated” $5 CAD so that I could use this software. It was either that or 5 USD, 5 EUROs or something like that. I really do not have that much money so I decided to go with the $5 CAD plus hey I live in Canada.<\/p>\n
So I downloaded the ISO image a couple of days later when the payment went through and I just decided I wanted to test it out rather then install it.<\/p>\n
For the Web browser ELIVE 1.0 has IceWeasel. It is very nice and has the graphite firefox theme. Yes I know IceWeasel is somewhat based off of Firefox. There are a lot of applications but most of which I would never use anyway.<\/p>\n
This is a distribution that has Enlightenment 17 but also comes with Enlightenment 16 which I have tried both.<\/p>\n
For the login I have to login with a username and password. If I wanted to have a password on a Live CD I would just install it and get the password for my own account.<\/p>\n
I sometimes spend a bit of time in the CLI. Unfortunately not many of the commands are the same. For example: ifconfig which usually is the command to which you can see your IP Address is no longer ifconfig. So I tried ipconfig seeing that it may have switched to the MS Windows command. That was not it either. So I just started typing ip and accidently pressed enter. That was the command to see the ip address. Talk about crazy! I spent almost 10 minutes looking for the command.<\/p>\n
Overall I really like the Desktop Environment, ease of use and some of the applications but on the downside I really do not like how the commands are changed and how much time I have to work on figuring them out.<\/p>\n
Rating 3\/5 (On a generous day… which is today.)<\/p>\n
