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."

Actually, I don't have a problem with the way they do things...they are very upfront about it and there is no commitment. They don't even put a minimum price on the donation. I tried some of the early build and it really is quite impressive, especially on olders systems.
To be honest, I think it wouldnt hurt me if more groups did this. I would rather spend $1 to download something of quality, than have a endless stream of really low quality work coming down the pipe. It's a LiveCD + Installer, with no minimum donation.....
I will probably download if just for general purposes tonight, and donate a few bucks just to support a group that does a good job...I think if more people ACTUALLY donated to projects, we would see much higher quality software brought to the table over time...but thats just my $1 worth.
