The thing with enlightenment in general I find is that it’s powerful, but a lot of its treasures are hidden.

To shut down, for example, you just press ye olde start (or “windows”) button. Whole thing shuts down just like that.

on my 2ghz 1 gig ram comp, installation is less than ten minutes all up(!), so I feel your pain re: install. I’ve had that happen with other distros and nearly threw in the towel.

My only criticism is that elpanel. I don’t want to have to click through a heap of things to get what I see as basics like synaptic.

Otherwise, I’m very happy with Elive, I find it runs faster on my machine than Ubuntu and Sabayon (not speed demons themselves, I know!)
