I'll get to learn some wordpress i guess. I'd liked to learn how to use it anyway sooner or later
Well it's very simple to use, not hard to code too (php), but in my personal opinion is a very very very bad quality software in every sense (one of the main root reasons is it's internal language php), unfortunately used too much widely that we don't have other alternatives
It's faster, but I'm experiencing random freezes (as like with e17) using a '01 2.44 GHz Pentium 4, 512mb ram, GeForce 2 mx200 32mb
I will add a note to BTS
It'd be nice having a secondary de for older computers!
Adding an application bar at the bottom (maybe without animations would be better!) And something like dmenu (the one in i3wm to easily look for any runnable binary in the system) would make it perfect
Freezes ? you mean segfaults? in e16 if you have a segfault it will probably show the desktop broken (exit session)
that was possible in old versions of elive, try for example the Gem version, from the torrent (see stable download page -> other downloads)
I tried them, and I also added transmission to the startup applications so I can share the torrent!
I don't think it is a segmentation fault. It's like a loooong stutter. Everything works fine again within few seconds

Mmmh that's very strange, but sounds more like a hardware issue and not a problem of the system, please check this (just written) howto: How to check and verify that your computer doesn't have hardware problems
If you don't have these problems, we must check what is causing it (i still convinced that is a hardware problem, probably by the hard disk in a "sleep" state)
Try to run "dmesg" when it happens to see if you have any useful info

I prefer the new visual / way it is displayed… Good job
- Added other downloads in the Downloads menu
- Rewrited the “beta” download page with improved information about the actual elive status and future development, any feedback / suggestion about the provided info and its impact @jfbourdeau ?

I like the download page
but, Most for your DOnation links point to the patreon page and not the main donation page with all payments options…
So in those pages, no easy way to reach the donation pages with all the option, If the click Support menu, then they will find the donation page… But all links everywhere on the site should point there (my opinion)
1- Support this project, with any amount Elive 3.0 Stable - Download patreon only
2- Unfortunately , there’s not enough resources to start the next development phase. Elive - Beta Download p;int to patreon only
In different pages you have a links to donation, but it point to Patreon only… I think that if any links you have related to donation, would point to Elive Donations it would be better… With a clear not that patreon is MONTHLY only. (but may be people using patreon, know patreon is monthly ? Anyway)
As for Stripe and paypal, it is clear, they can choose either monthly or not…

Donation page a bit updated with the info of the “actual funding state” marked in patreon (this is manually added so the information could be old in the future)
With a small description of “what is possible” to do with the actual funding / resources
Promoting the patreon link as first as a sustainable way to support a project and with the alternative donation links later

I’m happy to announce a new mirror added for the downloads of the ISOs, served in a good machine located in UK, improving the distribution of the downloads (which before was only used 2 mirrors from dreamhost, which are not so reliable) and making the downloads in europe to be faster! 
Thanks a lot Gary Fowles for the mirror!

Let's go, guys ! Let's move from at least 100$ monthly additional per month?
So 100$ / month minimum by the end of the month of September
200$ / month minimum before the end of october...
So we can have our new version of Elive on STEROIDS ( new kernel, drivers, 64 bits, and son on...)

Menus better structured:
- there’s no “news” main category anymore (moved to ‘About’)
- ‘Support’ contained misc things (including documentation), now the documentation related things are moved to a main menu category
- In the future there will be a ‘Features’ section after ‘About’
- A few icons added in the ‘Support’ section
- Since we have a FAQ in the forum and a FAQ in the website of Elive, I have added both in the ‘Docs’ main menu, for the forum related one is called Q&A, in other words: FAQ’s in the forum are more generic ones and the ones in the website are more specific and important, like related to booting the system, main questions, and first workarounds / troubleshooting if needed, I assume that is understandable this way
Make a look to the new menus (reload the website of Elive), they are meant to be more friendly and intuitive now!

Looks pretty slick to me. Well done!
On a side note: There are some pretty glaring grammar and plural/singular mistakes on the museum page.
- Did you enjoy Elive in the past?
-These older versions contain tons of …you won’t see again.
-Better yet, they are extremely light… (Never start sentences with “but”)
-We are happy to keep them available for you!
-We hope you enjoy these versions as much as we did at the time and if you can, share your nicest screenshots with us on our forums.
-These old versions contain a donation required to install, the website still provides them.

The website of Elive has been moved to a newer server box 
(from the same hosting), using now a newer CPU (Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 @ 2.2GHz, released in 2016) instead of the previous one (Intel Xeon E5-2630L 0 @ 2.0Ghz released in 2012), it is also moved from Amsterdam to Frankfurt in order to deliver faster responses generically worldwide
The difference is pretty noticeable 
, I could say easily a 25% of performance improvement, specially in the backend of the website
The IP has also changed, this could (maybe) improve the email delivery to those crappy hotmail boxes which they never receives emails from the Elive website, where @yoda helped me a lot to improve this, so let’s see what it does
The next days I will do some tests for a possible switch from nginx to the OpenLiteSpeed server, which seems to boost the website performance a lot more (at least twice fast, to 5x times faster 
), maybe @PrinceAMD is familiarized with it
that’s all for now
