Wow! I still have "rasterman.com" memorized because I'd check in once every year or two for the past decade it feels like, to see how it was going. Something about E17 always seemed cool, but I've never used Linux as my primary desktop so I haven't played around with it much. Congrats to the team!
Some years ago (in 2005 or 2006) I always ran the latest E17 builds as my primary desktop environment. I really liked it! Some things about it were awesome, but OTOH it always was a little bit incomplete. It just took too long, because in 2006 I bought a mac and moved away from Linux.
On my current laptop I had Linux installed for a couple of months, but I didn't try E17 anymore. It just was too late, I didn't want to go through the checkout/build/install stuff again. And now I have removed Linux completely (again), because an Ubuntu update took four days, and after that my mouse didn't work anymore.
Anyway, congrats to the E17 team! I still think you have a great piece of software there.
It is too bad that you gave up on Linux and Enlightenment. e17 has been in Debian for a while now, you do not have to manually build it anymore. Why did the update take you 4 days? Are you bandwidth limited? Dialup?
