I think I hated the default file manager, and being on a laptop I missed the 3rd button and the scroll-wheel to fully utilize the enlightenment environment. The donation thing is very odd. It's like saying: here, use the buggy, unfinished version to form your first impression of our distro. And if you like it, you can have one with older software bundle, and less functionality but without bugs for this low price.... Hmm....

I'll admit it's a turnoff, but so long as the newer version is somewhat stable, I'm doing my best to forgive it.

Also, I think its a little querr that the distro manager makes you put in a donation to use the stable version..... A good linux person would say: "Here is my distro,try it. If you like it and would like to see its development continue, please make a donation" Elive looks nice, but I dont like the idea of usees ‘enlightenment’ as my main DE.

That said, if you're on 0.69, I found it very stable for the three-odd months I used it. And with Gem, the only problem I've had so far is encoding my dvds.
