I just installed Peanut Linux on my server and it uses Enlightenment by default. It looks prettty cool but I have no idea how to use it.
The Enlightenment web site is garbage and the help menu in Enlightenment isn't as extensive as I would like. Where can I find some good Enlightenment documentation?
I want to use my server for a web site and a file server. I use KDE on my workstation.

How do I use Enlightenment
I've been wondering that myself for that last couple years. It sure has a lot of gimmicks. Too bad they aren't useful.
what are you specifically trying to do? Its pretty simple to use. Middle-click menu will bring up your options. The help that comes with it should be adequate, if you ask some specific questions I can try to help you.

It uses a menu system.
right or middle click i believe. Tho you may have to set up the menus from cli first. I believe it integrates gnome menus into it.

Sorry I was so vague. To me, Enlightenment is so different from KDE that I was hoping that there was some extensive documentation on its ins and outs.
I'm kinda trying to take the lazy way out but Enlightenment just isn't as intuitive as I'd hoped.
I just wanted to get to a command line and configure my ethernet. Later, install Apache and other stuff.
Well enlightenment is my favorite because its just good at staying out of my way. I also like how I can seamlessly scroll through my desktops without pause which works well on my machine. Bottem line tho is if you dont like it after a bit of playing with it, its probably not your thing :P So try some other WM out there. I would recommend fluxbox, Its my second favorite.
Middle click on the desktop somewhere and go to HELP on the menu that pops up. This brings up a sort of simple tutorial.
