'Elive Distro Illustrates Power, Beauty of Enlightenment'

Linked by Thom Holwerda on Tue 5th Feb 2008 22:45 UTC

"The Elive Linux distribution combines beauty with ease of use. Elive is based on Debian and uses Enlightenment as its windows manager, which gives the distribution a Mac OS X look and feel. Elive comes with dozens of easy-to-use desktop applications that just work. Elive started as a live CD, but now at version 1.0 it works well as a standard hard drive installation. The latest unstable ISO, 1.5, should be released shortly."

***I like enlightenment and all, but WTF? Enlightenment looks nothing like OSX***

Not to mention the fact that Enlightenment first appeared in 1996 -- years before OS X.

So, if anything, OS X resembles Enlightenment.

No, Enlightenment resembles NEXTSTEP.
