I’m always searching around for interesting Linux distributions, and tonight I tried to download the latest stable release of Elive.
I couldn’t.
The official download throws an error, and visiting the Elive page on Distrowatch doesn’t help either: the iso on Linuxquestions is outdated, and Madtux.org doesn’t have it anymore. At this moment, it seems like the only way to actually get Elive is a torrent on Isohunt (which has only 14 seeds at this moment).
I remember reading that Elive simply wasn’t available as a free download, but that can’t be right, can it? It’s not mentioned anywhere on the site, and there’s a download page, it just doesn’t work.
I’m sure this isn’t the way to promote a distribution…

Hi San,
Indeed, Elive’s stable releases requires a donation to be downloaded, it’s written on the download page for stable version: http://www.elivecd.org/Download/Stable (by the way, this page works for me). Only development releases are cost-free to download.
But if, you’re still interested in trying out Elive 1.0 (latest stable version), I can give you an invitation code, which will allow you to download it for free when used on this page: http://www.elivecd.org/invitation/
E-mail me if you want it
Bye

Hi Ghost of Kendo,
yes, the page works but the download link results in a 404 error. And this is going to make me sound stupid…but where exactly on the page is the donation fee mentioned?
And I am interested, very much so. Your mail’s in the mail.

yah, if i recall correctly, elive has a required donation if you want to download it from the site. its a pretty fun distro to play with, especially if you’ve used enlightenment before. if you can’t get the torrent, you can always just donate a dollar and download the iso from teh site.
