setup enlightenment desktop

First, add Smoon's repository to your apt sources.list:
Code:

$ sudo echo "deb http://ubuntu.nooms.de/ hoary/" >> /etc/apt/sources.list


Next, create and open the apt preferences file:
Code:

$ sudo gedit /etc/apt/preferences


and tell it to prefer the latest version of Enlightenment:
Code:

Package: enlightenment Pin: version 0.16.999.* Pin-Priority: 999 Package: enlightenment-data Pin: version 0.16.999.* Pin-Priority: 999


Update apt:
Code:

$ sudo apt-get update


and install!
Code:

$ sudo apt-get install enlightenment eutils


The install should automatically create a new .desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions, so you can now log into E17 from your regular login manager. Log out, log into E, and enjoy!


Optionally, you can also install extra EFL programs & E modules. For more information on these, see the Get-E user guide.
Code:

$ sudo apt-get install emodules engage entrance eclair elicit entice examine eclips


emodules - These add functionality and eye-candy to the Enlightenment desktop outside of those included in E.
engage - An OSX-style dock.
entrance - Login manager.
eclair - Media player.
elicit - Magnifier/color dropper.
entice - Image viewer.
examine - Configuration utility.
eclips - Another image viewer.
