I've been on a long mission, maybe month or two so depends what is considered long, to have a hard drive with 40 different systems on it. I have partitioned a 1 TB hard drive into 40 partitions each being 25-45GB in size. I go to distrowatch.com every day because they have something new to try, and is free and keeps me occupied. I dont know how many I've installed, I'd say total at least 100. I will install, try, if i like it i keep it if i dont i reformat it and install another. Mostly, all of the distro installation process are pretty straight forward. All of them except Elive. Here is the reason i am writing this.....

How can I get a code ?

Write an article about Elive on any website that you want, talking about which features you like the more or what you found on Elive as unique features, we give you a free invitation code for this. You can write it in your language if you are not good with English. Important: Do not simply copypaste some text, the article needs to be made by you, saying the things that you like the more in Elive in comparison to the other systems.

If you need Elive for using in educational environments please contact us from the institutional email of your teacher and include a valid teacher degree, if you don’t do it on this way we will directly ignore your email, we will then review the case and be more than happy to provide you with as many free codes as you need for the instutional environment.

Why we decided to use this way?

Very simple, we don’t want to restrict anybody from use Elive, but if we give the possibility to get free invitation codes then nobody would pay and Elive would simply not exist, so we found a simple solution: by requiring a small effort on getting the invitations, most of the people that has the possibility to pay would preferably pay than trying to get the installer modules, and we still giving the possibility to anybody from getting them.

SO- that is where i am at in this installation process, something not found on any other distro i have ever tried, not to mention the failed installations I've already had with elive in the past, this is the farthest I have gotten and am currently typing this through the live cd running it from drivedroid on my phone. So, this elive, it "asks" for a donation to be able to install it, and has it automatically set at 18$. You cant go lower then 10$, but it does say there are alternatives, to write a review, talking about how great something is that you havent fully tried. SO here is my review for my code. I know 10$ aint much, and I am sure alot of work goes into the creation of these types of things. However, Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, Linux Mint, Kali ALL of the major players dont demand a donation, they do just fine because the QUALITY is top notch. As far as I can tell elive is no different then the mediocre distros i've tried. Has enlightment, which is nice, but what else besides bad grammar, what appears to be a whiny dev and unreliable software as it has crashed several times in the past installation attempts. I just tried again only because they released a new beta. SUCKS. I have to submit this url to them, so hopefully they will send the code so I can at least see if its any different then what I presume. and if it is I will clear things up. until then, just like every single other linux distro, you get your donation when you deserve it.
