For some reason, after trying it out, I decided I wanted to use it again on this box.

Now stop trolling. I am genuinely excited about E developement, and while I'm mostly interested in E17, news on E16 shows us that work is being done, and the project is still alive. This is news, and it's worthy of a front page post.

Chacun son goût, I guess...

Funny that everyone who likes E seems to have suffered from the same old age related stroke that has affected there ability to construct sentences.Edited 2008-02-18 11:03 UTC Mon, 18 Feb 2008 11:00:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Coxy) Comments The truth http://www.osnews.com/thread?301353 http://www.osnews.com/thread?301353 The letter 'e' in e16 stands for 'eternal' , as in 'eternal development'.

Is it that E16 releases get all the "ink" and E17 ones' don't?

Honestly I haven't touched 'E' in quite a while. I had been running E17 for a couple of years when I was using dual monitors, but it started to go unstable one me and honest just sometimes lag.

Going widescreen/single head allowed me to jump back to windowmaker for my work machine. Mon, 18 Feb 2008 18:30:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (bnolsen) Comments RE[2]: E16 version 0.16.8.12 has been released http://www.osnews.com/thread?301374 http://www.osnews.com/thread?301374 Yeah, I agree.

Even the unreleased E17 is aging. By the time E17 is officially released it might be labeled obsolete.

Not even Fedora is anywhere near 16 or 17 yet. And they play about as fast and loose as anyone regarding version numbers. And yet for as long as I can remember, the 'E' dev team has acted more like those devs who go on for years with 0.97, 0.98, 0.99, 0.99.1, 0.99.2, 0.99.3... 0.99.9.1, 0.99.9.2...

Some people, I know, are irritated when I say that this or that piece of software was released in "point oh" form too early. But Enlighentment devs: COUGH IT UP, MAN! Shit or get off the pot.

(I wonder if I should have ended this post that way?) Mon, 18 Feb 2008 20:02:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (sbergman27) Comments RE[4]: E16 version 0.16.8.12 has been released http://www.osnews.com/thread?301381 http://www.osnews.com/thread?301381

Is this a joke or are you serious? If the the latter: It's 0.16 and 0.17. Mon, 18 Feb 2008 22:32:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (KugelKurt) Comments
