That is so absurd I can't believe it. It is NOT just a bandwagon thing and I will tell you why. Ubuntu is rock solid,- has a very large userfriendly community, and things having a working synaptic repository of goodies ready to be installed is incredible considering VERY few distros do this. Does mepis come with synatpic ready out of box and on the menu easily accessible like ubuntu?
I also dont like the way the forums work and how they show the date of poster.
I also had problems with apt using mepis yet I have never had that problem even once with ubuntu and I think its because mepis used ( uses:) more than one branch of debian ?
I found the IRC community TINY at best which is unacceptable to me for support.
I do not like qtparted ( I dont like kde in general cause well gtk really IS free 100% unlike kde ) thus I dont like mepis install period.
I just not get a professional feel to Mepis unlike ubuntu which also has a pleasureable and 'approachable' user base and ownership
