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 actually downloaded Mepis back in June and put it on my laptop, not always the best ideas. Linux still doesn't seem to get along too well with it, but its fun to test against. Honestly, I was impressed with Mepis but the version I downloaded ages ago never correctly installed a bootloader, no problem though, just used Mandrake to repair it
I do have to agree though, the creater is insane...he never sleeps. I posted about the problem and within 10 minutes he was helping me through a fix. I hadn't gotten a response like that from any other distro group so I was impressed but, it still wasn't quite useable enough for me and I was still too lacking in the knowledge to fix some of the problems that cropped up. I might give it a try again though, can't hurt.
