Last week the beta version of Elive 2.8.6 was released, a version that not only complies with the philosophy of the distribution but also manages to surpass the speed and beauty of the distribution.
Elive is a lightweight distribution that is based on Debian but with Enlightenment as the main desktop, resulting in a very light but powerful Gnu / Linux distribution for any user.
The first beta of Elive 2.8.6 not only fixes the bugs that have appeared in the distribution but also made some changes to the desktop to make Elive even more beautiful. A) Yes, the main desktop menu has been changed and optimized; shadows in desktop menus and icons have been improved; the pager has been modified to be less obtrusive; or the stability corrections that have been made on Compiz, Elive's graphical manager.
Elive 2.8.6 has managed to be twice as fast as its previous stable version
In turn, in addition to software fixes, Elive has included a number of enhancements to the supported hardware catalog, improving its compatibility with sound cards and graphics cards.
The boot menu has also been improved to be faster and on the desktop, the user will find a direct access to disk drives to be more functional. All this results a lightweight distribution that manages to be twice as fast as its previous version. The latter is what has attracted the most attention to users who have tried this beta version of Elive, which means that the stable version will be more interesting than many expect.
Elive 2.8.6 Beta you can get it through this link, although it is best to install it in a virtual machine, since being a development version, not recommended for use in production equipment. And if you are looking for a light distribution, Elive is a very good candidate for it. Do not you think?
