I just edited a video on a pentium 4 with 2gb of ram, in avidemux. Wow I love elive. Keep it up! :w00t: ---

I've tried out a lot but have never found any better, be it stability, speed, ease or beauty (albeit in the last category there are other contenders) ..... on old or new hardware. :applause: ---

Testing the live-USB version of the minimal-retro on an old Thinkpad X61T with only 2G Ram ..... it does everything at anazing speed. :applause: ![signal-2021-05-29-155034](https://forum.elivelinux.org/uploads/default/original/2X/9/9a4d7052e7c609c00827006ed4c0788d572cb832.jpeg) Even playing movies doesn't make the machine flinch. ![signal-2021-05-29-154839](https://forum.elivelinux.org/uploads/default/original/2X/1/17ae698798a64f4d10337465a4dbe2cc5a7407ef.jpeg) Base startup is a mere 286Mb RAM usage ![signal-2021-05-29-154800](https://forum.elivelinux.org/uploads/default/original/2X/5/5f232308e4e266fb4b98ec99462b3b85f2cb65ee.jpeg) Test for yourself if you like, the hybrid.iso here: [https://triantares.ddns.net/Elive/E16-Retro/elive-minimal-e16-hybrid.iso](https://triantares.ddns.net/Elive/E16-Retro/elive-minimal-e16-hybrid.iso) It doesn't offer an "install" option (albeit, you could if you really want to) just a way of running it. Feel free to download, try and comment. 😸 NB The user is "elive" and password is "evile" .... else use the "guest" login which has no password (and no privileges). ---

Idk guys, i just "bought" the latest elive version. With e24 everything is so friggin unstable that most people may say it's not too usable yet on a daily basis. On the other hand, my god the speed of this thing is so addictive i cannot have enough of it. And seriously, auto completition in vim??? What are we talking about??? Lately i'm working on a full sized IOT infrastructure, completely managed, coded and organized within a terminology window. I'm dead, i love this thing @Thanatermesis. Are u delivering us some sort of version without GUI? Please? Or some sort of package i can install on any debian system so that all the servers i deal with have the elive tools built in their terminals??? Or do you have hints on how should i do it myself? I don't want to go back to everytday plain linux/windows ever again ---

Your wishes have come true: :magick: [https://github.com/Elive/elive-for-servers](https://github.com/Elive/elive-for-servers) It works fine on my home servers. Be sure to really be 'root' when you run the script (i.e 'su' or 'sudo su')...... only a 'sudo' prefix isn't good enough. ---

Works fine on my (Ubuntu) one too, except it does seem to try to update the kernel which results in a panic. 🤔 ---

No clue... Because it's a shared VPS i had to uninstall the new version immediately after I realised the problem. The old one was 5.4.0-81-generic IIRC, the new one 5.4.0-91-generic. I managed to boot back into it because the old kernel was still available in boot options. ---

> [@TheTechRobo](#): > > Because it's a shared VPS i had to uninstall the new version immediately after I realised the problem. I'm not sure I follow there i.e why you **HAD** to uninstall, considering the "available boot options". 🤔 I'm taking you're still booting into an "Elivized" server despite using an older kernel so no real harm is done. 😃 ---
