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."

I tried it - including the dontation, I did feel a little uncomfortable donating to something I hadn't tried yet. It installed OK, but after a couple reboots the hard-drive disappears - grub says it can't find the partition. I did it twice with EXT3 and ReiserFS. Both times the same problem. I put back DSL on the laptop, no problem.
My point isn't to file a bug here, but to vote with those who say you shouldn't expect people to pay for something unseen. Especially for me, it leaves me with a useless product (btw, the checksum was fine on the download).
However, I only donated $5, so I'm not out that much. I'll keep following the project, because it seems very promising. I'll try it out on a few more machines to see how it goes.
