Elive, the distribution dedicated to E16 and E17, has reached the magical 1.0 barrier. "This version is ready for the end-users and not just hard core testers. It is a more intuitive easy to use and more efficient system. It has better integration of the file-manager and the mime-types, a nice kernel especially for multimedia and big processes loads, a light weight foot print, much better compatibility with your (possible) Windows system/software, more hardware supported, better graphical recognition, and many more things that you can find in the complete changelog."

They should offer a free liveCD only, and ask for donation for another liveCD one with an installer.
Anyway, don't get me wrong, I'm not shocked. I'll just wait until the slow servers are up again, try it out, and if I like it enough to install it to my HD, I'll give them something. Giving that it's debian, I don't see why I wouldn't like it, it's my fav distro.

Understand, but a modest donation is all that's needed. They are a small bunch of people, its one of the most original and creative distro projects there is. I usually just download live trials, but this one, they deserve something for reaching 1.0. If ever people deserved some support and recognition, its them. Mostly because of creativity!
Not connected with them in any way, don't even know them, just greatly admire what they've done.
