Ebuntu
ContentsBR TableOfContents |
Ebuntu Packages are ready for download and testing!. Please read the "Installing" section below
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 Enlightenment, with the clean and beautiful design of Ubuntu Linux?
Ebuntu is a project towards that goal.
DISCLAIMER:
1) Ebuntu packages must be considered beta quality software. As of now, they are neither devloped , maintained or supported by the Ubuntu developers or packagers ( [https://wiki.ubuntu.com MOTU]'s.
2) Ebuntu is NOT an official Ubuntu project yet.
3) Ebuntu IS stable enough to considered for beta use.
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 live/install cd (derived from the Ubuntu LiveCD). To go towards making a live cd, E17 package as been upload at [http://e17.sos-sts.com]. Please read the installing section on how to install E17 to your current Ubuntu installation.
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
What has been done till now
Quite a lot / Not much yet. Depends on your point of view The package files are ready. It's working here without any major hiccups
We have a mailing list at e17@lists.tuxfamily.org
#ebuntu on irc.freenode.net is our IRC channel now. Please discuss everything there
Coming soon
1) [http://e17blog.tuxfamily.org] : the blog for E17 Ubuntu repository and for Ebuntu
2) Our own mailing lists.
Downloading
The E17 packages can be downloaded from those repo
1) [http://e17.sos-sts.com Paris/France]
2) [http://edevelop.org]
Actually, Ebuntu iso isn't yet available.
You can download from either of these locations.
For installation instructions, read below.

NOTE: The same packages can be used to build an E17 live cd. I am in the process of doing it now.
It will be possible to install Ebuntu to hard drive.
What's Added
+Ebuntu has E17 compiled from CVS with generous options.
What's been removed
-GNOME Desktop Environment
-OpenOffice office suite.
NOTE:
1) OpenOffice and Evolution has been removed due to space constraints.
2) The non GUI part , the core and the the X server are EXACTLY the same as Ubuntu 6.10 , thus making it a Ubuntu sister distro
3) Ebuntu can be "converted" into Ubuntu by a simple "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop". Same holds true for Kubuntu, Edubuntu & Xubuntu.
Artwork
Logo, Usplash, gdm theme, wallpapers, etc.
REQUIRED: People to help with the artwork and the theming.
