Out of the darkness comes Enlightenment

“Although KDE is my work horse, every day, desktop
environment, I enjoy testing different environments from time to
time. Enlightenment is one environment that I had wanted to try for
a while. I remember seeing some beautiful Enlightenment screen
shots about 10 years ago. However, at the time, installing it was
not an easy task. And frankly, KDE fulfilled all my needs on a DE.
However, my admiration for Enlightenment has never really gone
away. So, I was glad when I heard that PCLinuxOS had a release
sporting this DE. Knowing how easy it is to install and maintain a
PCLinuxOS desktop, I thought this may be the time to finally give
Enlightenment a try. And I was right.

“I have only started playing with it, so don’t expect a deep
review. I only want to highlight the beauty of the environment and
the good job the PCLinuxOS team did in customizing it for their
distro. If you want to learn a bit more about how to configure it,
the PCLinuxOS forum has lots of information about it. See here for
example.”
