Elive-Revisited

Elive gets over 1000 points for may reasons.
Any penny donated to this site for development is worth its weight in gold.
It is innovative and only other two distributions that follow that path are YOPER and GOBO-Linux.

GOBO-Linux is slow in its development cycle which is invariably a good thing.
I am waiting to write about it but thinking that it's new release would come anytime and delaying that act.
In any case I am not even half-way to hundred and not even quarter it will eventually come. either my comments or it's new release.

Going back to ELive I like its new approach very much of asking a donation at the time of Installation which is the right thing instead at the beginning before downloading
(which is irritating to me).

The newbie has had the first hand feel when he/she is donating.
What is even better is its Demo with Cassius Clay with a Kid (promoting Linux) which is the way Linux people should learn how to market a good product.
Not the Greedy way of fortune 100 companies.
It's approach to Windows Manager is classic and in fact Linux on Fire and not Rome on fire with Nero not playing!

I have not seen the Compiz effects yet and even without seeing that I recommend ELive to newbies and groovies.

It brings a new life to graphic experience.
Go and download it and feel the pulse and send them a donation too.
Seeing it is believing!
