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.
