Why not a history lesson of Elive?

Thanks for the articles, I have added them in a list for the future "testimonials" page :slight_smile:

Unfortunately I don't have these numbers, but what I can tell you is that in 2006 Elive was pretty popular, it ranked up to the number 26 in distrowatch too if im not wrong, "how much than now" ? mmh, maybe around 5-6x times more (speculative number)

easy tip to be able to decompile them with the compatible EFL versions: download an old version of elive which dates in similar dates to these themes (you can check the efl version too, or the date of the binaries, etc...), so there's a torrent with the old versions available, then boot in live mode, decompile your theme, copy somewhere this result and then back to an updated EFL you can recompile them again, but it will very-probably require some fixes in the code to make it compatible
