Hello there, does anyone have experience setting up Enlightenment E17 on a CentOS6 system? I know that the RPM's are available from: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/Enlightenment:/Factory/CentOS_CentOS-6/x86_64/ but don't have a single clue about how to switch from my GNOME desktop to it once installed.

I use xfce for a lighter desktop which i much prefer now to gnome. You will be compiling and doing the testing with E17 - xfce is well tried and proven straight from the install disk (you're bound to have some conflicts and problems somewhere installing E17). Could try several desktop and see which you prefer - selection is always on the login window under 'session'. james

Imho it doesn't make sense to include unstable software in a rock solid stable Disribution like CentOS. Do you know what i mean? But, definitly don't listen to me. It's your system. You can do with it whatever you wan't to do. W> I know that the RPM's are available from You know the repo! You want to test it! Feel free to make your own experience with E17. Imho it's always better that you make your own experience, even if it turns out later, that this decision was wrong. Maybe you will love it, maybe you will hate it. No one can tell you.
