To be honest over 9 months or so E17 only broke once or twice for me. |
| 26 |
Sync'ing the efl and trying again a few hours later fixed the breakage. Once |
| 27 |
I get a working desktop I leave it alone and only sync again a week or two |
| 28 |
later. |

E17 is soooo light footed that I would not want to move to KDE for all the |
| 31 |
plasmoids in the world. Ha! It even makes fluxbox seem heavy on resources in |
| 32 |
comparison. |

I've added 'enlightenment' overlay, sync'ed and now I get this: |

Do I read the above right that 1.0.0_beta is in the enlightenment overlay, but |
| 60 |
1.0.0_beta2 is in portage proper? Since beta2 is more recent why isn't listed |
| 61 |
in enlightenment overlay? |
