I think I might switch to MEPIS...want to use it for LemonPOS at an Arts & Crafts shop. Can this version of MEPIS fit on this desktop or should I use something else? LemonPOS is a KDE application so that's mandatory. <br /><br />Thanks for taking time to write reviews like this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6253115272113487284.post-10951298133929146222013-08-27T09:35:58.097+01:002013-08-27T09:35:58.097+01:00Guys how can I set up programming environment on M...Guys how can I set up programming environment on MEPIS?Apostle S.T Fumanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00475267503513886172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6253115272113487284.post-57665975616063019172013-02-26T21:05:24.806+00:002013-02-26T21:05:24.806+00:00Thank you, Barnaby.

If an OS isn't stable, then it has me reaching for the Windows 7 DVD :$ I did try an older version of Mepis which worked pretty solid, and thanks to this excellent review I think I will give it another go!Dapperlixnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6253115272113487284.post-20599948671347658832012-05-13T19:58:32.309+01:002012-05-13T19:58:32.309+01:00Heya, first time I've written a comment here, ...Heya, first time I've written a comment here, this post made me want to make a comment.

I gave Opensuse, Kubunutu, and Linux Mint KDE a go. All where pretty good but I miss the stable base of Debian.<br /><br />I could easily just use Debian and go about it all myself, but I like what Mepis offers out of the box. The last time I used it was Mepis 7 and I remember it running flawlessly. But I got bored and moved on to something else.<br /><br />These days I'm ready to settle down and get to work/play. From what I've read about Mepis so far, it sounds like a perfect consideration; especially once KDE 4.6 makes it's way in! Still don't understand how something so well put together doesn't get more recognition.

I...Thanks for your very carefully assembled review. I'd like to add that Mepis does actually come preloaded with both the kernel headers and dkms, so adding proprietary drivers and apps are essentially painless, so it is fully possible to add the vbox extensions without any further downloads.<br /><br />Also, while this may not sit too well with some, h2's smxi scripts do work very well with Mepis.m_pavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05153070784856827371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6253115272113487284.post-5424774376857787972011-05-29T13:45:42.082+01:002011-05-29T13:45:42.082+01:00Thanks for the review.

I'm currently looking for a new distribution, possibly with KDE, since I've been extremely dissapinted by Fedora and GNOME 3 and Unity in Ubuntu is no better. I did try Fedora with KDE but I suspect there are better KDE distributions out there. And looks like SimplyMEPIS is wort a try.Carolnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6253115272113487284.post-89342317348407453192011-05-29T01:36:27.380+01:002011-05-29T01:36:27.380+01:00Glad u like Mepis 11.

No pulseaudio, good forum support, delta patch from beta - rc - final, comunity repo, support live USB and Mepis System Assistant. The last one is great to recover back Mepis GRUB after testing some another distro. I use Mepis boot menu to boot Salix.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6253115272113487284.post-61011567105727967442011-05-28T13:52:30.276+01:002011-05-28T13:52:30.276+01:00Awesome review!
