Enlightenment 17

| Yup there was e17 again. And to keep thing short: I love it.
| 
| Sure a nicely themed gnome with compiz fusion has more eyecand but I like the 
| look of e17.

openGEU - sunny Ubuntu - Overview & short tutorial

,----[ Quote ]
| openGEU is another extremely successful Ubuntu child, running Enlightenment 
| 17 as the desktop manager. Like gOS, another Ubuntu & Enlightenment distro 
| reviewed some time ago here at Dedoimedo, openGEU offers a healthy 
| refreshment of color and choices to the already well-established distro.

OpenGEU - A new distro with a new name and a new look for Ubuntu

,----[ Quote ]
| I am honestly pleased to give this package a complete 5 Pennie review. I can 
| clearly state that this is everything is a distro I want, with little given 
| way of the politics for the day with removing the codecs and having to change 
| the name. I didn't really like Geubuntu because the Ge confuses the reality 
| of the day. Eubuntu was already out there, designed as an education bundle so 
| how do you communicate what is under the hood?

When Enlightenment met Ubuntu

,----[ Quote ]
| Despite being a young distro with just two releases under its belt, Geubuntu 
| delivers a visually stunning desktop without compromising functionality. As a 
| double benefit, the components it uses to blend functionality with bling have 
| modest hardware requirements. This makes the distro perfectly suitable for 
| older computers.    
| 
| Built atop Ubuntu, the distro has a solid, well-tested base. Its unique mix 
| of components from desktop environments Xfce and GNOME on top of the 
| under-development Enlightenment environment introduces several bugs, but the 
| developers are working to iron these out, and have already tackled several 
| between the first two releases. I'd recommend this distro to desktop users 
| with aging hardware, and to users who haven't tried Enlightenment before.

First look at Geubuntu 7.10 

,----[ Quote ]
| For Enlightenment and Ubuntu fans this distro is custom made for you. It 
| takes the best of Ubuntu and combines it with a great desktop environment. If 
| Ubuntu or Kubuntu is a bit too heavy for your equipment, then Geubuntu just 
| might be what you need. It might also be an idea for those who find Elive a 
| bit overwhelming, or those who like to be a bit different from the rest of 
| the crowd.

| popular Linux Distribution Ubuntu. Geubuntu, a project started and designed 
| by the Italian artist Luca D.M. (aka TheDarkMaster) is perfect for any 
| Desktop, Laptop PC or even for a Virtual Machine. Geubuntu mixes the power 
| and simplicity of Ubuntu and parts of the Gnome Desktop with the wonder and 
| astonishing eye-candy of Enlightenment DR17

E17 -- Desktop Enlightenment

,----[ Quote ]
| You need to install E17 in order to fully appreciate the magnificent
| work of the programmers. The direction of changes is very good -- e17
| delivers a nice-looking desktop with many special effects, being easy
| and lightweight at the same time. When compared to its predecessor
| -- e16 -- it shows that the desktop personalization and new effects
| do not have to trigger additional hardware purchases. I only wish Ic
| ould say the same about GNOME and KDE. Also, I have to say that I
| wish the Microsoft products were as stable and functional as e17
| in alpha phase.

A short look at gOS

,----[ Quote ]
| So after downloading the gOS Live ISO onto my Debian Etch system I started 
| Innotek’s VirtualBox, bound the freshly downloaded ISO as a CD-ROM, made a 
| 4GB virtual hard disk image for installing it, gave that virtual computer 
| 256MB of RAM, and started...

Gosh, gOS is good

,----[ Quote ]
| I really liked gOS. It's a cute little system with lots of functionality and 
| great looks. It works well and is fast and stable on my laptop. It should 
| work on any computer that any other Linux supports. Enlightenment is an 
| impressive desktop environment, and the iBar is a low-overhead way to blend 
| cool effects with needed functionality. I think users will like it.

| Based on Ubuntu 7.10 Linux system with an Enlightenment E17 interface, the 
| PC's productivity will be almost solely derived from Google applications 
| accessed through Firefox: Mail, Calendar, News, Maps and Documents & 
| Spreadsheets. It also comes with OpenOffice.org 2.2 and some other freeware 
| Linux favorates.
