Again, MEPIS is completely different from ubuntu.  There is no seperate
package pool like main.  But most important, there is no security
monitoring the stable branch as there is with Ubuntu, so the two don't
compare.

I'd rather have less Eyecandy on a certain DE then miss security
updates.

(I use Gnome myself, but my wife is running KDE on Ubuntu, as will my
parents).
