DesktopBSD 1.0 removed from the download page

Although DesktopBSD 1.0 is really outdated by now, some people still downloaded it and soon started having problems with upgrading packages (1.0 comes with Xorg 6.9) or hardware that would be supported in the more recent 1.6 release candidates (the HDA sound chip is a prime example).

Therefore, we have decided to hide the 1.0 links on the download page. They are still there, but only after you click a button next to a note that recommends getting a 1.6 release candidate instead. Those are already very stable, come with newer packages and have much better hardware support, therefore causing a lot less trouble for new users.

    Sounds great but what about releasing 1.6! It sounds like it is ready.
