Hello sir @grmartin

I'm more or less new on Linux (Ive learned a lot using these tools instead of the ordinary Windows Mac alternatives) and I like it a lot.

I have been experimenting with different types of Linux distros like Ubuntu and Mint

Now I'm very interested in building the lightest PC I could, which I might if I learn how to.

Currently my desktop environment is Debian LXDE because Debian is the so called "most reliable" distro and LXDE is, of the most popular Desktop Environments, the most lightweight.

Now I learned about Enlightenment and saw that, in benchmarks, its faster than LXDE.

Now Debian only has e17 (hence the need for this type of experiments like the one you have here)
** I'm assuming this has to be done in Debian Sid (unstable) or can it be done in Jessie (stable)?

[WHICH I DEEPLY APPRECIATE VERY MUCH]

Now I'm currently doing this that this other contributor tells me on this page of github
https://gist.github.com/bhundven/11439386

My question to you

Besides maintenance, what would be the difference between his way and your way?

@bhundven (if you'd also wouldn't mind to contribute, I would deeply appreciate it)

Thanks a lot, God bless you ! =-) =-) =-)

Great Job!!!, works perfect!.

Hey, in the process I'm getting this error.

eolian:/usr/local/src/e19/efl/src/lib/ector/gl/ector_gl_surface.eo:1:8: unknown import 'ector_types' near 'ector_types'

What it can be?

Thanks.
