Mepis 6.5

Posted by: Anonymous Coward on April 26, 2007 10:25 PM
After almost a year with Linux I'm looking for a replacement for SUSE 10.1 and Mepis 6.5 really impressed me. I prefer KDE, and this install went smooth as silk and everything pretty much just worked for me. I agree that their website is a bit of a puzzle, but their forums are well-done. I got a quick, accurate response to a question about their fstab handling, and I love the choice of Synaptic (by far the best package-handling I've seen in any distro). I had a much better experience with this than I did with Kubuntu 7.04 or the LinuxMint-KDE offering.

I like the look and feel of 6.5, a pretty comprehensive distro. This is a finalist for my new desktop.

Thanks for your review.
