Star MEPIS To Switch from Ubuntu to Debian
Linked by Eugenia Loli-Queru on Mon 30th Jul 2007 21:52 UTC, submitted by da_Chicken
Debian and its clones SimplyMEPIS, a very popular desktop Linux, is going to change back to using Debian Linux for its core from Ubuntu. In March of 2006, MEPIS founder Warren Woodford, decided to switch to Ubuntu from Debian for the next version of SimplyMEPIS, version 6.0. The plan was to use Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Long Term Service), a.k.a. Dapper Drake, as MEPIS' foundation. Things have changed.

6.06 is LTS - 6.10 was a normal release.

They should do away with the decimal point, and use something more distinctive.

6-6 or v6.JUN spring to mind
