mepis

I use Debian based distros. My favourites are Ubuntu, Sidux and MEPIS. In fact, I am solidly in the Debian camp.

Despite this I have a problem with Debian and Debian users. It goes like this.

I have been running my computer on Mepis for some time now and have recently come across, what I think , is a handy script. It is called smxi

Datamation: "But once I discovered SimplyMepis (also known as Mepis), I found that Knoppix was simply too time consuming.

I enjoyed Mepis for a while, though I ended up moving to Ubuntu due to stagnation in Mepis development."

...But once I discovered SimplyMepis (also known as Mepis), I found that Knoppix was simply too time consuming.

I enjoyed Mepis for a while, though I ended up moving to Ubuntu due to stagnation in Mepis development.

As far as a major contender distribution that I use on a regular basis, I would say it would definatly have to be Simply Mepis 7.0.

Mepis is a rock solid distribution created by Warren Woodford, and the Mepis Team.

Debian? Ubuntu? Sidux? Pardus? Mepis? Gentoo? Whoa! Why are these Linux distros so strangely named? Why not name a OS simply - door, room or window?

Although, Linux distros have very strange names but it is interesting to know, why they are called so?

After having recently moved all my mail to Thunderbird from Kmail, I was dismayed to discover that Thunderbird will not "minimize to tray," meaning that I would get no new mail notifications and no "Lightning" calendar reminders without TB being open on the desktop or minimized to the taskbar.

Warren Woodford has announced the third beta release of SimplyMEPIS 8.0: "The third beta of SimplyMEPIS 8.0 has been released for 32-bit and 64-bit processors.

The only major change for this release is a switch to the recently released 2.6.27 kernel. Warren Woodford of MEPIS explains this unexpected....

If you have read my Linux posts, you know Simply Mepis happens to be my preference out of the hundreds available.

I have been happily using Mepis for many years, and have no plans to go elsewhere. It’s easy to install, maintain and customize.

That’s a great combination.

Everything is working very well, with the exception of the built-in webcam, which I have never used. Sound, wireless, 3-D graphics and more are working just right.

Keep in mind, this is still a beta version; when this becomes gold, it will be Mepis 8 and rock solid as usual.
