impressive

Unfortunatelly this notebook dropped down in the floor and I'm really sad that I can't do some other videos with it. Now I'm testing e16 in a virtual machine, but it is not the same. Anyways... I was already prepared for the day when that old notebook would pass away.

Cara... vc recomenda o e16? Estou pensando em coloca-lo como padrao no meu ubuntu... o que vc acha? Quais as dificuldades que vou encontrar? Apenas usei o gnome... Obrigado e belo vídeo ;)

To usando o E16 no Ubuntu agora. Ele é mto bom e se integra mto bem com os aplicativos do Gnome. Eu desabilitei o Nautilus como gerenciador de desktop e agora consigo acessar os menus do E16 quando clico na área de trabalho. Além disso, a versão que está no repo do Ubuntu é mais nova q a q está no vídeo... tem algumas novidades bem interessantes (comp de janelas, sombreamento, etc). Se você usa o Metacity (padrão no Ubuntu), vc vai se impressionar qdo trocar pro E16! Vlw pelo coment!

Hi, people! Thanks for posting... I'm happy you all enjoyned this video.... I would like to make one thing clear for this video:

After E16 starts up, it takes a long time before launching wBar and Conky, just because I've set it up on my initialization script!! They actually starts up in the same time if no set up is done! But as wbar gets the first background it sees when starting up, a delay was needed so it could get the real background, which appears after the E16 startup sliding windows :)

Very good. It looks like you are using such an old machine to its maximum potential, and you might not need a better one.

are you using xorg or xvesa? On a celeron 400 with a trident video card the rendering of web pages is slower than this, especially with images. I'm using openbox though, i may try e16.

Hi! Well, many factors contribute to the lightweight of your system. This video shows a light base system on which I've installed some light softwares in order to get the best performance I could get with this old laptop. E16 would certainly make your windowing tasks much faster (and prettyer :D) because it's really lightweight! Maybe if you try Dillo for your web browser, you can get the efficiency you want when surfing the web, but it's not very useful when you're visiting sites like Youtube..

Ahh! By the way, I'm using xvesa, of course... but Xorg also runs very well on it (a little slowly, indeed).

Thanks for posting!
