| MEPIS is switching back to Debian as its base instead of Ubuntu

I read that earlier. It kind of stinks, but then again, I guess they didn't 
thoroughly read what LTS was all about. I just hope they picked up some 
developers since they decided to change to an Ubuntu base last year. Prior to 
coming to Kubuntu I was using Mepis, and the reason I ended up switching to 
Kubuntu is because they had more bugs then a million people could track. I do 
however feel they should have just followed our dev cycle instead of deciding 
to stick with LTS, as this would have given them exactly what they wanted. It 
has been just over a year and a half now since I switched, so I am hoping 
they got better. Warren is a good dude, and it is hard for me to believe he 
misread what LTS was all about. So when I head out east next month, I will 
stop by his house and drop off a box of Kubuntu Feisty CDs :)
