WARNING
Choose this distribution if YOU have only OLD hardware.
It would run with 500,MB, RAM it shoots up to 1.5GB if you are running programs
Minimum RAM is 2GB.
It is old Bookworm Kernel and compatoble with Debian
It is incompatible with all the ARCH distributions.
It RUINED my GRUB and I am reinstalling CachyOS and REBORN OS.
No bother, I can install 4 of them in the time I spent installing Elive.
Besides, I can install Enlightenment Desktop on top of GNOME of DEBIAN.
There is also Enlightenment Organization which promote this Desktop.
I was a folder 4.2GB contsisting of two 32 bit and 64 bit images.
DEBIAN also takes a long time to install since it supports many Desktops on the first install. One can avoid this by downloading only one Live image say, GNOME, KDE or XFCE.
Do not download Source Code images and they cannot be installed.
DEBIAN Testing images are released every 2 weeks and the last one I downloaded was faulty and I could not use it to install.
It is much less than 4GB and it would have been some fault in download. Thete are no torrent files for Testing. I lost all my Linux images in my safe keeping NTFS Partition.
I have now converted it to Debian GNOME for daving Iso Images.
Installation details.
It started at 13.32.
At 13.42 I formated /partition 9 which had second instance of REBORN OS.
It is detecting the 18 partitions in my NUC.
It is already a bit of a pain but I am not yet annoyed.
At last I got the layout of my Partition Table.
Selected partition 9 with 16.7GB.
It is still brewing grog or alcohol but this is the Month of Wesak and I do not consume alcohol at all, now.
It want a password for a new keyring.
Obliged.
I did not want Google Chrome to snoope.
234 dollar contributions in 10 days.
I decline any contributions because I do not have an account in Australia.
I would have if I was in CEYLON.
It is configuring the installation.
I hope it would not ruin my GRUB.
I declined Chrome Browser and SNAP of UBUNTU.
It is running the Terminal and removing redundant stuff.
I am a patient retired doctor and I have gone through this rigmarole from 32 bit time.
Hence no major mishaps along the way.
THANK You Elive.
Long Live Linux is my motto.
I have an account on ELive in my book Linux Essentials.
No reservation intended.
I have already Enlightenment Desktop on top of GNOME and IceWM, blackbox and openbox window managers installed.
I loved Enlightenment Desktop from 32 bit time. With all the animations I cannot resize the Terminal Window to read what is going on the background.
This is something (reading every comment made) I learned from ARCH Linux.
I take seriously every comment they make in the terminal on Python 3 plus.
It is 14.17 and already one hour.
Not yet finished.
REBORN OS finished installation in 12 minutes and that is why I use ARCH instead of Bookworm of ELive.
However, I am going to keep it as the 10th distribution in my NUC.
It is finally doing the GRUB and Init.
Anyway it is better than Prism Linux and GARUDA Linux that ruined my GRUB.
Finished at 14.28.
Did It RUIN my GRUB?
By the way, I had the Elive Image in a 8GB SD Card and it would remain there for sometime.
It is saying it is UPDATING my GRUB.
It has only one user.
No Root User but a Sudo.
Thay violates Linux Principles.
Well it got the GRUB in ORDER with a beautiful Plymouth.
I am booting it now at 14.38.
Thank You again.
My NUC has no Audio but I jacked, my son's USB Audio Jack and I am currently listening to a random music pieces.
Thank You for the Music Elive Linux.
I have no hesitation in recommending it to Newbies.
One has to learn to be patient in LINUX Installation. That is a cardinal rule.
It (ELIVE) has come a long way.
I am going to install AbiWord now.
It already has Audacity.
Added Lmms ( Grand Linux Sudio Utility) and AbiWord.
AbiWord accessed my current working book on Linux Essentials.
Thank YOU.
Linux ROCKS on ELIVE Linux.
15.00PM and my Tea Time.
Coffee I made at 12PM has gone cold but I would have it now, like ice coffee.
It is bit cold in AUSTRALIA.
It is 16.04 and I am still listen to FREE random music.
THANK You for the MUSIC.
Video quality is poor and they are old time music when video technology was poor when transferring them to. DIGITAL anyway.
My eyesight is poor anyway.
By the way, MPV Player of Linux is Excellent.
