Hello there,
does anyone have experience setting up Enlightenment E17 on a CentOS6 system?
I know that the RPM's are available from: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/Enlightenment:/Factory/CentOS...
but don't have a single clue about how to switch from my GNOME desktop to it once installed.
Regards,

there will be a dropdownmenu at the bottom panel of gdm after you selected your user (before you type in your password) where you can switch installed desktops and windowmanagers.

It would help if you said why you want to consider E17 - i had a bitter experience with it. I use xfce for a lighter desktop which i much prefer now to gnome. You will be compiling and doing the testing with E17 - xfce is well tried and proven straight from the install disk (you're bound to have some conflicts and problems somewhere installing E17). Could try several desktop and see which you prefer - selection is always on the login window under 'session'.

I run E17. It is beta so just be aware you will have issues. I find it to be fast and at the moment relatively stable. There is no tab support in terminology, but I used screen to get round that issue.

Strange, I could not find any beta-like mention in the "E17 release: ZERO" announcement of December. "final official" is not what one could call beta or testing, no?

Do you know what i mean? But, definitly don't listen to me. It's your system. You can do with it whatever you wan't to do.
W> I know that the RPM's are available from You know the repo! You want to test it! Feel free to make your own experience with E17. Imho it's always better that you make your own experience, even if it turns out later, that this decision was wrong. Maybe you will love it, maybe you will hate it. No one can tell you. Do you know the slogan of Nike, the manufactor of sportswear and shoes? Just do it :-)
W> but don't have a single clue about how to switch from my GNOME W> desktop to it once installed. Ibrahim already told you where to make the switch!
