SimplyMEPIS is a KDE-based, Debian-derived distro that focuses on desktop use. The previous stable release came out in May of 2005, but the newest version of SimplyMEPIS is scheduled for release today, and it looks like a great release for anyone who's interested in desktop Linux.

Warren,

I'd have to say that it is time to update your default desktop. You've had the same look for quite a few releases now and its the one area I think MEPIS is really, really lacking. For tips on what the desktop CAN look like, please see http://www.tuxmachines.org/gallery/pclos92f

If you take care of this now, you just might propel your lil desktop a few more rungs up the ladder in popularity. Afterall, everyone likes eye candy. Don't dismiss my ideas because we had a disagreement a few years back...I want to see Linux do well...MEPIS included. If MEPIS succeeds, Linux succeeds. Take this advice to heart I beg of you.

If there are those of you who use MEPIS, like I do, who would like to see the default graphics, fonts, and general appearance improve, please leave a comment for Warren to provide positive feedback so that MEPIS can be improved.

Regards,

Derrick K. Devine ex-webmaster of mepislinux.org, now defunct loyal user in the background since June 2003
