Hi, I am a big fan of e17 but when I installed it and hover the coursor over the other tap in the menu I get the white box of death telling me that it had to stop. Anyone else have this problem? Any fixes? Much obliged thanks!!

OK my experience with E17 is a bit limited, but it always felt buggy to me. What version of Ultimate Edition are you using?

I have tried every E17 distro up and down the pike and the only one I have found that works and is pretty stable is Bodhi Linux 1.3

It is a minimal distro and you have to add virtually every thing to it but it just plain works! Give it a spin.

I see, I'll give it a whirl on my second partition.

tried sabayon E17 lastnight, but no joy, it kept rebooting randomly after a few mins of usage

e17 however did look promising

It's just got more bugs in it than the amazon. Whatever happened to e16? That was awesome!!
