Setup Light Weight X Windows environment (Enlightenment) on Fedora 20 Cloud instance


    Needless to say that setting up Light Weight X environment on Fedora 20 cloud  instances is very important for comfortable work in VM's environment, for instance on Ubuntu Trusty cloud server just one command installs E17 environment  `apt-get install xinit e17 firefox`. By some reasons E17 was dropped from official F20 repos and maybe functional only via previous MATE Desktop setup on VM

# yum -y groups install "MATE Desktop"
$ echo "exec /usr/bin/mate-session" >> ~/.xinitrc
$ startx
# ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/graphical.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target

VM reboot 

Having MATE desktop installed :-

# yum install yum-utils -y
# yum-config-manager --enable fmd-testing
# yum -y install enlightenment

Attempt of straight forward install Enlightenment 17 on Fedora 20 Cloud instance ( testing version) 

# yum install xorg-x11-server-Xorg xorg-x11-xdm \
