Elive (Enlightenment live CD) is a non-commercial desktop Linux distribution cum Live disc based on Debian, with Enlightenment as the user interface. Elive is especially suitable for older computer devices, and it has rich functions and is intuitive and simple. A few days ago, Samuel F. Baggen, the founder of the project, announced the release of Elive 3.0.

­after eight years of silent development, a third stable version of Elive has been released with amazing results, so well integrated that it can't even describe each internal feature, and the new site contains only a small portion of it.

Unfortunately, not everything is rainbow and perfect, and lack of resources leads to excessive delays in release, which makes software packages and drivers obsolete, but the end result is worth it. Elive 3.0 is the most useful system ever, with perfect, rock-solid, beautiful, hidden features for daily use, and simplification everywhere makes it available to users at any level.

­if all this is not enough, this version is the most powerful version, keeping its resources light and fast, please do not hesitate to put this beautiful and readily available operating system on each computer for any purpose.

Better yet, the final stable version is completely free and unlimited with all features, making it easier for more people around the world to use it, especially for those with fewer resources.

­translated from its announcement (link). (it seems that there are no detailed release instructions for this version. )

­Elive was born in Belgium before 2005, and as its founder's private experiment, the initial goal was to customize a Knoppix Live CD that runs Enlightenment and is based on the design of the Evil Entity distribution, which is called Tezcatlipotix. Because the result was better than expected, the idea of creating a public version was born. Two months later, the first public version called Elive appeared directly on Slashdot. Since then, Elive has continued to develop more versions.

­Elive leverages Debian's online repository and uses its own repository. The latter contains more than 2500 software packages, including software specific to Elive, additional software or packages to replace the default package provided by Debian, thereby improving the overall system and integrity. Elive comes with a complete set of software to meet the needs of daily use, such as LibreOffice, Chromium, Iceweasle, Icedove, VLC Media player, GIMP, Inkscape, Blender, Skype, Virtual Box, Avidemux...

­Elive is suitable and encouraged for older computers with lower minimum hardware requirements and excellent performance and functionality. It is equipped with disk encryption, open and closed source drivers and configuration or installation guidelines, commonly used multimedia tools, 3D desktop effects through integrated compiz, and many other features or software. In addition, Elive provides localization support for many languages, and elivecd.org even claims that "We make it applicable to any language in the world, even the rarest language!" ". Although this is unlikely, it shows that there are many languages it supports.
