Hi;
I have opened a new user account to try out Enlightenment desktop. I
have been playing with E16 all afternoon and kind of like it. Before I
really dive in though, I was wondering if it is worth downloading E17.
It turns out enlightenment-0.16.999.050-3.fc11.x86_64 is the one I
installed from the Fedora repo. The version numbers are so close I
wonder if this means it is virtually the same as version 17.
There is also a repo with a more updated(?) e17.

Some months ago (F8,F9,F10?), that was the only way to get a complete
e17, but I believe many parts are now included in the normal Fedora
repos, although version numbers might vary.
>> Has anybody tried e17? What did you think of it?
I used e16 many years ago, but have only poked a little at the surface
of E17. Guess I should check up on it again. As far as eye candy goes, I
think there is more 'competition' now than there used to be in the e16
days, so it would take more to impress. The real advantage of e is
supposed to be looks without a big hit in speed and resource usage. I
haven't tried it enough to judge on any of those yet, but it would be
interesting to see if it has retained some of it's old magic.
I read an article a while back, where they found big differences in e17
performance depending on whether it was run on top of a normal distro or
streamlined as in e-live or something in between. I don't know how it is
set up on Fedora in that respect.
