Elive 1.9.56 Has Support for 3G Phones

The Elive team announced today another unstable release of their Elive Live CD Linux distribution, now at version 1.9.56. Being powered by Debian, the Enlightenment E17 desktop environment and Linux kernel 2.6.30, the new development version of Elive brings support for 3G phones, the latest version of Adobe's Flash Player and installer fixes. Without any further ado, let's take a closer look at the changes brought by Elive 1.9.56:

· Updated Linux kernel packages to version 2.6.30;
· Added 300 new operators in order to support more 3G phones;
· Automatic connection of a 3G phone, at boot;
· Automatic saving of connection configuration for 3G phones;
· Updated Adobe Flash Player to version 10.0.42.34;
· Fixed some installer issues, regarding booting of Windows OSes.

The Elive operating system sports a large number of programs, ranging from office and Internet-related applications, to games and entertainment. In other words, you can watch movies, listen to your favorite songs, surf the Internet or chat with friends. All on a single and secure Live CD powered by Linux. The E17 (Enlightenment) window manager is brought to you from CVS, and is updated on a regular basis through Elive's testing repository.

You can even use Elive for developing Enlightenment applications anywhere, as it doesn't need to be installed. A big portion of the Enlightenment-related applications are included by default, and several custom tools have been designed to help out new users, the most important being Elpanel. If you want to test Elive, it is recommended to use a computer with minimum 128MB of system RAM and a 300 MHz processor.
