Elive, Still my most linux distro wishlist

Also on June 1st, the hard-working team behind the Elive project announced yet another unstable release of their GNU/Linux Live CD, Elive 1.9.28. There are various improvements and bugfixes in this new development version of Elive, which is a Linux operating system based on the stable version of the Debian 5.0 (Lenny). The good news is that, among other things, the team improved the support for Macbooks and the hard disk installer.

Highlights of Elive 1.9.28:

· The listing and detection of hard drive partitions was improved for both the installer and the Live CD;
· Added support for RAID disks. The installer will also contain some documentation about how to install RAID devices;
· In order to improve the boot support for Macbooks, the Elive team replaced the old Lilo boot loader with the popular GRUB. Therefore, Macbooks will no longer fail to boot after executing the fine-tune step (problems caused by Lilo);
· Greatly improved the Elive installer. Numerous bugs were also fixed!
