Elive - is a commercial Linux distribution based on debian and using wm enlightenment. But not everything is so scary: the development branch is absolutely free and during the period of communication with it, I didn’t have any problems (if anyone dares to try, I hope you don’t;)).
Elive is interesting primarily because it is very well optimized for not-too-powerful computers and netbooks (the main feature of the new version is support for Acer Aspire One). Visually, this distribution is somewhat similar to OS X, but it is only externally and is achieved primarily through the use of e17. We are pleasantly surprised by the minimum system requirements of this distribution:
# More than 200 Mb of RAM: Any version of Elive # Between 128 and 200 Mb of RAM: Gem version will be sufficient # Less than 128 Mb of RAM: Maximum Elive Revolution * version or older # Compiz Version: Requires at least some 3d acceleration (not really much) and 200 Mb of RAM, with a processor of 600 Mhz will be OK ')
Actually a small visual tour (it can also be seen on the offsite main page):
