Linux 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 agree shapeshifter, begging for donations won't ever pay the bills for them, purely because people in general are bombarded daily with people asking money for things, begging will only keep them an underground geek project.

I think the PC-BSD and Ubuntu models of companies backing up the distros financially would work better than a few hundred dollars from a few geeks IMHO.

Mod me down if you will; the Elive forums look like an after thought compared to PC-BSD and Ubuntu, this is only constructive criticism if they want to hit the mainstream users and if they want a bigger ground swell of user rapport.
