A newcomer that, like Knoppix, can be run from your CD drive without installation. Also like Knoppix, it is based on Debian. Where MEPIS shines is its easy, 100% “point and click” installation, and automatic detection of not only “normal” computer hardware but also popular webcams, the latest wireless network cards, “Winmodems” that usually work only with Windows, digital cameras, scanners, and other devices. Freely downloadable, paid registration or subscription updates available but optional.
