Elive linux
Elive is a
complete operating system for your computer.
It is the perfect choice for replacing your proprietary,
high-cost system. It is built on top of
Debian GNU/Linux and
customized to meet your needs for a complete operating
system while still offering the user eye-candy,
with minimal hardware requirements.
Turn your old computer into a
high-powered work-station with an Interface that
will dazzle anyone who sees it. This is Elive's
goal.
Elive comes with a full suite of
applications for either work or leisure. It
offers everything from a full Office
suite to games and Multimedia.
You can enjoy watching movies to making your own. Creating DVD movies
with custom menus and theme music can easily be accomplished by using
the included real-time non-linear video editor.
Elive gives you the ability to make 3D animations, edit and
manipulate audio and image files for better quality,
effects, or design. And to round it all up, Elive has
centralized settings and configurations in its
own Control Panel called Elpanel.
Elive uses Open Source Software. This means, among other things, that you have access to the source code of the programs as well as the permissions to modify and adapt them to your personal needs with perfect legality.
The project's Web site is a bit vague about what type of user is best served by this distro. "Elive is not made for newbies. Elive is not made for experienced people. Elive is not made for enterprises or personal user. Elive is art." Our experienced reviewer raved about it, and says it's "a solid distribution that can compete in the Ubuntu/Knoppix space."
