Mepis packs a good basic suite of apps, but my experience is that Knoppix is vastly superior in terms of stability, choice of apps and, most importantly, amount and quality of derivatives. In fact, did Mepis inspire *anyone* to use it as a basis for a derivative distro (although potential developers might be turned off by the non-free nature of Mepis). It also looks like Knoppix is suported by a much larger groups of maintainers. Last, but not least, Knoppix is much betted documented, in particular with top notch books. YMMV indeed...
Mepis is good, Knoppix is better
