Can you be more specific about what you liked about MEPIS, which you
don't
find in Ubuntu (or Kubuntu)?

Hi matt,

good question... first, let me clarify tat it is not a case of "MEPIS
can do it, ubuntu can't", but rather, "MEPIS can and has done it, while
ubuntu can, but has not".

for an incomplete list, in MEPIS: (not in order, just off my head)

1.   nvidia driver is just a gui click away; (altho' it didn't work for
me initially but tat button is there)

2.   all menu icons were added automatically to my kde menu after
installing them from mepis and debian repositories;

3.   Java, Flash, Firefox Quicktime/WMV etc. plugins to watch different
multimedia formats were already built in, and programs such as
Realplayer and Azureus can be used out of the box;

4.   My speedtouch USB "speedtouchconf" script could start my adsl
connection upon startup, but not in ubuntu hoary;

5.   My Windows XP and FAT32 partitions were mounted on my desktop,
ready to be activated by me, without having to edit fstab file;

of course, ubuntu has its advantages too, such as the ability to work
with my nvidia card during bootup, xorg and of course, GNOME 2.10 with
all e latest OpenOffice 2.0 etc.
