Hi Neil, I'm along time Debian user (7 years) and if there was something
wrong with Mepis I would not suggest you trying it, saying that, Mepis
has one click tools that Debian don't have, like it will repair grub for
you with a click or reinstall a working x-configuration for you with a
Wonderful! Repairing grub and X with a click seems to be very useful to
desktop users. Can't Mepis give back to Debian by providing these
packages to Debian repos? Other such GUI conveniences too.
Mepis (Warren Woodford) has given plenty to the community and he is not
untouchable, it's Debian that needs to take the initiative, I contacted
Daniel Baumann (Debian Live) about trying Mepis and he said he wanted to
and would give Mepis a try, but in the time he said he would, he did
not. I think Daniel has the same mind as Klaus Knopper and that is that
the live cd is a tool and not meant to be installed. So if you guys want
tools in Debian you need to talk to the Debian Dev's or KDE Dev's or
Gnome Dev's, but I think it's best as a Live CD and Daniel is the Dev
for that.
