This is the third in my series of reviews for Debian-based commercial distros that might be appropriate for SOHO use. The first article covered my exploration of Lindows, the second one focused on Libranet, and this article covers a recently released distro called MEPIS.

I too am going to "watch this one very closely". I did burn it to disc and had a VERY good impression of this distro. It looks very polished. I'm amazed that it is largely the effort of one person!!!
The biggest drawback - I have to call it an Achilles heel - is that you can only have swap, / and /home partitions.
Also, I do not believe you can use two drives (I like /home on a separate drive).
If any of the above is untrue please enlighten me.
Went with Mandrake 9.2 instead but MEPIS looks like a winner!!
