EliveLinux is a Linux distribution based on Debian both for legacy (old) and new hardware. It uses the desktop environment Enlightenment.[1] It offers a live CD and a persistent USB image.
History
Elive was created early 2005 as a customized Knoppix Live DVD running the Enlightenment desktop.
The first version to appear publicly was called Elive.[2][3] It was mentioned directly in Slashdot[4] and referenced multiple times by DistroWatch's Ladislav Bodnar and Susan Linton as a "promising new distribution"[5][6][7] in the UK-based LinuxFormat magazine, as well as being offered on their cover-disc[8] in 2007.
In 2010, version 2.0 was released with new features like upgrade mode, the nurse and more.[9][10] However, it required a payment for installation to hard disk which resulted in some animosity towards the operating system.[11][12] Linux Magazine and Linux Journal especially touted the tight integration of the E17 window manager in their reviews.[13][14]
In 2017 EliveLinux was used as a base for the AbantOS project[15] by Saint Paul College CSCI 2461-70 Computer Networking 3 - Linux, and 2482-40 Incident Handling & Disaster Recovery classes.
Eight years after 2.0, version 3.0 was released.[16][17][18][19][20] It was no longer pay-to-install, but its prolonged development cycle[21] as well as still being Debian Wheezy based, resulted in criticism.
Presently the OS is at 3.8.19 (beta) and built on Debian Buster.
The operating system has been known for its many popups, which resulted in many user complaints.[22]
Releases
Currently 2 supported releases are available:
- Stable (version 3.0.6), based on Debian Wheezy and E17. It has a 32-bit release only.
- Beta (currently version 3.8.17), which is divided into a 32- and 64-bit release. It is based on Debian Buster and uses the E16 desktop environment.[23]
The older releases can be found by the web page. They use very old versions of E16 and E17, and they are promoted by the creator as having "forgotten interfaces".[24]
System requirements
The minimum hardware requirements (according to the developer) for running Elive Stable 3.0 (32-bit) are[25]
- 500 MHz CPU
- 192 MB of RAM
- At least 3.5 GB of disk space if installing to hard disk
- DVD drive or USB flash drive and port
The minimum hardware requirements for Elive Beta (32- and 64-bit) are:
- 1 GHz CPU (Athlon 1100 like)
- 300 MB of RAM
- At least 3.5 GB of disk space if installing to hard disk
- VGA graphics card capable of hardware acceleration
- DVD drive or USB flash drive and port
The older releases have lower system requirements, making them useful for older machines.

RESUBMIT because Elive has just 5 references less than Bodhi, so it should by all means be accepted imo.
