SimplyMEPIS

Everywhere I have turned, I have been hearing amazing things about SimplyMEPIS. With version 3.3 coming out, I suppose I had better set aside a little time to actually sit down and try out this marvelous distribution. Have you tried it? If so, what are your thoughts?

SimplyMEPIS 3.3 has arrived: “MEPIS has begun shipping the SimplyMEPIS 3.3 bootable CD. SimplyMEPIS offers a Linux that is easy to install and use. It should appeal to the beginner and expert alike. … By popular demand, the synaptic package manager is now recommended for new users. Also new in 3.3, SimplyMEPIS has introduced a GUI based boot screen and an improved installer that supports more hard drive configurations. And it gives the user the choice of a 2.4.29 kernel and/or a 2.6.10. Also the NVIDIA or the fglrx/ATI display driver can be chosen during installation to replace the default display driver. The SimplyMEPIS bootable CD allows potential users to verify hardware compatibility, test drive applications, and determine the value of SimplyMEPIS before making a commitment to install it on their hard drive.”
