This is a far more full-featured desktop than any of the box desktops, and the fit and finish is great. If you have never looked at enlightenment and have the need for a lightweight desktop for older hardware or for a desktop to use remotely over a lan or internet connection, I would highly recommend enlightenment. Buildserver has the current e16 package and I think packman has the e17 package as well. It is a complete desktop that comes in an 8 megabyte total download. You can install it on your kde box (or gnome) and it will configure all your kde or gnome app to be there for you a soon as your start. Enough said. It's capabilities and looks completely surprised me and it is well worth the look :-)
As a (now) longtime enlightenment user I am glad you have seen the light :-)
However, a note of caution, AFAIK e17 is a work still in progress and the development team do give warnings to that effect. (The animated themes are not exactly light weight either in terms of CPU usage, but some are very nice).
e16 is the more stable variant.
- Hi listmates! - thanks A LOT for the e16/e17 info. I've looking a little around to find a replacement for KDE4. Not that I don't like it, but it's not well suited for a server/thin client environment - being heavy and hard to lock down and all. - perhaps e16 is a good option? - I simply need to try out e16. So all I do is goto opensuse.org and hit the gray "Create it" and search for e16? - I go to the one-click install and elect for the 0.16-8 version? Really? The reason for my posting is that I don't have a spare machine and I'm VERY cautious about messing with this one.
