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.

First, sorry for my rusted English.
I was realy upset against mandrake 9.2, at my opinion the worst dist they have done yet, I bought 5 of theirs boxes so far, but that one (In fact the whole 9 serie) NO and I was looking for a suitable distro (RH and Suse was tried...but.)
And then came this "Mepis" I installed the cd and 10 euh no 20 minutes later all was in.
Since now 2 weeks I use, it nothing went wrong (I mean nothing a medium-basic linuxien could handle)
I think the cleverness of this distro is the "equilibre" between the use of each group
Internet, Multimedia, Office, developpement... everything essential is there already.
But the main strengh is the lightness and speed (after suse Mdk and Red hat ...easy isn't it)
Just I wish they find a way to give more help for newbies coming to debian because to find a suitable debs reposit it' a mess.
Of course I know it is still a beta mixture but so well born that it deserve to become one of the major distro to come... if the work already done continue this way.
Bravo et Bon courage....A bientot
