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
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 dont have a mailing list or our space on the ubuntu servers yet
Coming soon
1) Space on sourceforge.net, till we get access to the Ubuntu repository
2) Our own mailing lists
3) Of course, an IRC channel
