All I can say about E17 is that is impressive, but immature.

Few basic things are missing, like notification area or good keyboard configuration. – I use Amarok from the notification area, – starting it from E17 results… khm… well notting, because there is no notification area… I do not think I could used to live without it…

For keyboard configuration I’m missing some options, like Ctrl key position. – I use to swap ctrl and caps keys.

On the other side it does look impressive. There are few themes, – unfortunately none of them became my favorite. All the themes were overwhelmed with animations. There are animations I really dislike, like glitter over the window border on focus, or in menu. I hope there will be other themes soon with other animations… or maybe fewer animations.

From time to time, I’m sure I’ll get back to see the progress. But until I then I’m back to simple gnome with metacity.

I was looking for e17 for 64-bit Ubuntu for a long time…

I found a repository which contains e17 for 64-bit Feisty, Edgy, Dapper. – I’m running Feisty updated daily.

## E17 Repository "e17.dunnewind.net"
deb http://e17.dunnewind.net/ubuntu feisty e17
deb-src http://e17.dunnewind.net/ubuntu feisty e17


(If you have Edgy or Dapper relapce feisty with edgy or dapper.)

As usually:

apt-get update


And just:

apt-get install e17


If you already had installed e16, you’ll have to update enlightenment too:

apt-get install enlightenment
