| While selecting packages into Ebuntu, one must keep in mind that a consistent user interface must be provided and that we should deviate from Ubuntu as less as possible. Thus for the first release i have made the following changes to the Ubuntu LiveCD Removed - GNome and all its dependencies - OpenOffice (just for size reasons) Added - E17 + all the nice eye-candy apps |
Ebuntu has E17 compiled from CVS with generous options. Then a .deb file is made out of it. The deb file will be distributed as ''''Ebuntu-desktop-beta''''' for the time being and ''''Ebuntu-desktop''''' later on. |

Introduction
Life isn't fair. All distro's arent created equal. Some are boring , others not as configurable as we want. Then we have Enlightenment, the window manager for the rest of us.
So why not have the eye-candy and configurability of Ebuntu , with the clean and beautiful design of Ubuntu Linux?
Ebuntu is a project towards that goal.
Objective
The objective of the Ebuntu community project is to provide the maximum eye candy for the end-user using the enlightenment window manager and the related libraries.
The initial plan is to provide E17 on a livecd (derived from the Ubuntu LiveCD)
I should be able produce a install by the time Dapper releases (april 2006)
Ebuntu aims to provide an enhanced and attractive user-interface. The secondary aim of Ebuntu is to show off the eye-candy capabilites of the linux operating system in general and Ubuntu in particular
