Could there ever be a time where the ubuntu team will make an ubuntu spinoff based on the enlightenment window manager? This would be awesome. It would compete with the likes of elive.

Not until E17 is official or at least beta.

It would compete with the likes of elive.

do you say that because you just want another option, or do you not like elive? (i don't know about elive, being to cheap to download it.)

I just said that because I think it would be a GREAT addition to the family. I totally believe in *buntu domination...yah i said it.

didn't some community volunteers already do this? I thought I saw it on digg a while back. Was mentioned here too, iirc.

Hi

I really like enlightenment and am trying to install it. My left click doesn't bring up any applications, and I just can't seem to find them anywhere. I remember being frustrated by this sometime ago then finding the applications somehow. I am new to Linux and to Enlightenment. What might I be doing or not doing? Sometimes, especially with an app like Enlightenment, I don't know if it is a bug or my inexperience!

Thanks for any help

do you wanted to say stable or released?

Because i use the unicorn for more then a year now and as been a hell of a stable unicorn! :-D

Seems that the fact that there isn't an official release (not even planned) upset a lot of people. It's just the way it is, the guys prefer to constant evolve instead of release (making a party, drink champagne, commemorate the even version numbers, update site look for each new release, and looseall nice things that people involved on a project do when release. :lol:)
