Hi! I'm relatively new to this wonderful Operating System. I began to use Linux in 2009, and I'm really very happy to have migrated to Linux. My standard system till now has been Ubuntu, but I've just known Elive 2, and I think I will migrate to this new one. It's really a new visual world, specially clean and very attractive, and that's is very important for me.

ELIVE

It's a great distribution linux, very fast and beautifull interface. it's so light to success... no miss it !

;-)

Pros: GUI superb. Right/Left click on desktop clever and creates easiest desktop of all OS available. With 120 GIG HD loaded with 3 Windows OS plus PC/OS, Mint 8, PCLinuxOS & Mandriva I dare not try the install for fear of inadequate Grub formation. Only PC/OS used as LAST install gives satisfactory Grub at this time.

Cons: Warning about NTFS scarry but avoiding possible problems given.

IBM NetVista 1.8 MHZ 250 Meg RAM Pentium $79 - Incl Ship - Ebay replaced CD ROM with CD/DVD RW

Congratulations. Keep away from the permissions-password nonsense please on final distribution.

I have said that this OS is very good - but there is one caveat: I could not install the OS because you will need a .cod file which I found impossible to install.

If you want to run this from a live CD (and suffer the long installation time each time you switch on) then it is perfect; otherwise, you need to be a computer expert to install this OS ... but it seems to me to be the case with all of Linux in one way or another.

Personally I need a Linux intstallation like this but which is easy to install. The ones that are easy to install are VERY difficult to use.

The wanted to get me to donate money in order to download Gem!! If you could put the latest version here that would be great!!

Excellent light weight distro

I particularly like how mp3's and DVD's work "out of the box"

Elive 1.0 I wanted a distro that installed and ran easily on a modest 1Ghz machine and that did not require me to learn anything about the command line.

Elive is perfect for me...all my hardware works (including everything I need to do with DVDs) and the only thing I needed to learn was a little bit about disk partitioning. "cfdisk" was pretty straightforward. (10 minutes on google, combined with useful prompting from the elive installer helped me get the partitioning right)

I now have a fully functioning system. And I mean fully. This is the first distro of the (approx 25) distros I have tried, to give me the look, feel and functionality I needed. Without tinkering.

this version only live CD .
very good GUI features. user friendly .

negative : no istallation, unstable version .
