Elive3 runs ok on some newer hardware booted from a rufus usb.  That is 
a very unfamiliar environment to me.  It always makes me a little crazy 
if I can't fix/change the clock from UTC.

I finally got it done with a command dpkg-reconfigure tzdata, but trying 
to figure out how Brother Baggen organized things is quite different.

It is rumored that E3 is based on Deb8, but inxi says it is 7.11 but 
with a 3.16 kernel.  On my ATI/Radeon graphics system, it says that it 
is using ati drivers not radeon but it recognizes my card and asked me 
if I wanted to use radeon for over 4000 which I said I did, having an 
8470D ATI/Radeon.

I don't really mind that mac-y/docky look, but I don't find it 
particularly light on resource consumption on my system with 8 gigs of 
ram at 1400.  Maybe it would use less on a system with less resources.

I wasn't impressed with the earlier Elive and I'm not enthusiastic about 
this one.  I don't see why it is often described as lightweight and 
beautiful.  It ought to be lighter if it is going to use OpenBox + 
Enlightenment.
