Elive, Debian Based Livecd With Eyecandy

[Wallalai]

Elive is a Debian based LiveCD who let you try both Enlightenment e16 and e17 window managers without installing anything on your HD. Of course you can, if you like it, make an install on the HD.

Many good softwares on the CD and a lot of eyecandy (transparency, animated background, beautiful themes and more), see the screenshots here.

Looked around a little and indeed Enlightenment starts looking better and better. However, nood need to a new distro for this. The windows server runs nicely with every distro as far as I know...

Of course, but as it's a LiveCD, it allows anyone to have a look and test it without installing anything.

I'm not sure that all distros have e17 packages, so, depending on your distro you will have to compile it from source. And it takes a little bit more time.
