   I installed Enlightenment on my 'buntu box last evening. Marked    
   difference in running Gnome with Emlightenment as the windows manager    
   over Gnome alone. Running just Enlightenment in session is a little    
   bleak. I will agree that eLive's integration is better for sure. But    
   having the option to use Enlightenment as the wm for Gnome helps with    
   older boxen.
