I use E-17 all the time ! with no issues ! as well as LXDE, and all the rest, some i'll bet you dont even know about ! :D I feel you have to experiment with them to get the feel, and really give them all fare shake ! but, in the end, it is up to the user to know what they like, and are comfortable with, Install both and see what you like or disslike ! if you dont like it, uninstall it ! :D
NOTE : The E17 default ppa is at best limited, if you are running 3.0 (Natty) and up install this ppa in software sources
https://launchpad.net/%7Emerlwiz79/+arc ... vn/+index#
open synaptic, click reload, then search e17,and install E-17 and plugins,do not install the one that wants to remove gnome network manager or plugins-all ! log out and then choose the DE of your choise !

Hello eveningflame,
as synergy87 suggests you could indeed "be greedy" and go for both! :lol:
p.s. candy such as,themes,icon-sets,etc, can be added via surfing the web . Try gnome-art for one, Ubuntu-themes,-Cairo-dock,etc.
Cairo-dock is usually included with U.E, or can be added via Synaptic Package Manager or the Terminal .
All that I am or seem is but a dream within a dream.

yea, I guess I am behind the loop. I tried e17 a couple years ago and it didn't work for me. It's probably better now.

hey, does ultimate edition have its own desktop environment that I can separately install? I have Ubuntu and i'm very interested now.

That's not quite how it works with Linux. Any Linux distribution can focus on whichever environment but at the end of the day the choice is mine. A quick example, judging by the thread title would be Bodhi and E17. Bodhi does an awesome job with E17, but if I feel so inclined I can drop Gnome right with it, and choose what I want to with the display manager, which..I don't really even have to use, or I have my choice out of several. That's how Linux rolls.

My suggestion is to go here http://ultimateedition.info/, and read up a little. If you want to run Ultimate Edition it is not an environment variable, you kind of need to run Ultimate Edition which is itself, based off of Ubuntu.

You can do this with Windows too. These are shells(environments). KDE can run on both Linux and Windows.
