Elive is a Live CD featuring Enlightenment as the only window manager (and desktop shell too). Its version 0.1 was mostly an alpha release, and while E16 ran fine, E17 was severely broken in many aspects. Elive 0.3 fixes most of those problems and presents E17 at a point where it's perfectly usable for the day-to-day desktop. Read the review here. Update: screenshots.

I've been using E-17 on my gentoo system now for a couple of months. I'd tried it before then, but it wasn't stable enough. This last time it's been great, it'll run for a couple of weeks stably. I had been using windowmaker.
Some comments:
- I really like the way it handles dual heads.
- I wish I had a hot key to throw the mouse over to the other head. (at least there's decent hotkey support now)
- I wish there was the ability to save current workspace.
I am a tad perplexed about why they decided to use a binary format for the files. It's not like reading & parsing off of disk is slow...
