From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If this is Enlightenment DR16 (the best non-tiling window manager ever created), try the BlueSteel theme.

I tried using Enlightenment years ago - it looked amazing, and then... I found all the bugs, incompatibilities, etc... and it's lackof progress was disappointing.

I tried Bodhi Linux and even they gave up, creating their own Moksha desktop environment too...
