E17 can handle both windows manager and desktop environment on the same time on your pc. It brings out the best features out of your PC as compared to the commonly used KDE and GNOME.FORE MORE DETAILS CHECK THIS LINK http://ubuntumanual.org/posts/273/e17-enlighten-your-desktop.

I got everything installed without any problems, but, as a noob, I have no idea what this means when you say: "Now that it’s installed, it’s time to give E17 a test run. You can choose it by logging out of your current Gnome session and choosing Enlightenment from the Sessions dropdown box at the bottom of the GDM Login screen. Karmic’s GDM seems a bit strange about exactly when it shows that dropdown box. For me, it seems to work once I’ve selected my username but before entering password."
What is a "Sessions dropdown", a GDM login screen? If I reboot, I don't get this choice.
Thank you in advance for any clarity you can give me on how to run Enlightenment.

In general, this procedure works perfect on the Karmic-based Mint 8 Fluxbox CE, only DON'T do the emodules-all install (which will install exalt and exalt daemon, among many other modules) or you'll end up without networkmanager and networkmanager-gnome :( not much problem to reinstall them, but still a pain in the a$$; this aside, this article was great help, thanks a lot!

Hello,
Had some problems also (no sound or low sound output) with default settings of pulse audio. After lots of tweaking of config files finnaly this worked for me :

Go to “synaptics” packet manager
Search and remove all packets named “pulse audio”

Search and install all packets named “alsa”

“alsa” means “advandced linux sound architecture” it was the standart for years and is very stable.

I tested this installation on a freshly installed Karmic system, as well as two Karmics that had a few months of use in them. All went without a hitch.

Since this software is always in constant development, perhaps there’s a broken package in the repository. If that’s the case it’ll likely be fixed within a few days.

This doesn’t work. the install requires libraries that are not available to install
