Linux 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.

"Can you do a minimal install and avoid KDE?"

No, I don't think so, this is a KDE specific distro, although GTK libraries are there. It does install IceWM by default as well. If you're looking for Gnome, you can apt-get it and then remove KDE. However if this is your plan, you'd be better off using Morphix (Gnome and XFCE), and Gnoppix which are pretty decent.
