MadPenguin reviews SimplyMEPIS, and concludes: "The bottom line here is when reviewing a desktop Linux candidate, I expect to have a certain amount of functionality at hand, and a certain amount of polish. SimplyMEPIS 3.4-3 lacks both in my opinion. If you're looking for a fundamental installation and don't mind spending a bunch of time fixing/adjusting things that normally would have been done for you already, MEPIS might be for you. If you're looking for a desktop that pretty much works out of the box, handles removable media with grace, and isn't going to rob you of productive time, then I'd recommend sticking with something like Fedora, Ubuntu, Mandriva, or SUSE."

"OR...you could just right-click and send it to the trash using the convenient popup menu.
I mean, really, it's 2006 and he didnt try to right-click it? "
Well, he _did_ mention that he was an OSX user. Maybe his laptop only has one button, as those are prone to having. I'm sure there is a key combination that works the same as ctrl-click does for KDE, but I don't know it -- obviously the reviewer didn't either.
