MEPIS Linux

Posted Sun, 09/12/2010 - 06:15 by karen

MEPIS Linux is a user-friendly operating system based on Debian Stable that “just works”. It comes live, meaning it runs from your CD/DVD or USB drive so you can use it on your Windows or Mac machines without installing. Clicking an icon on your desktop will step you through what is arguably the easiest Linux installer around, and you will be up and going in no time. MEPIS comes with much of the software most users need, and hundreds of additional open-source programs are just a click away--Community members keep you up-to-date. Finally, great user support is available from a complete Manual, a rich Wiki, and a very friendly Forum.

MEPIS 12 Beta

Posted Sat, 05/11/2013 - 23:23 by warren

A new test release of MEPIS 12, version 11.9.86, is available for testing. It may take up to 24 hours for the ISOs to appear at the mirrors.

After extensive experiments, and feedback from the community, it was decided to defer the support for EFI BIOS and GPT drives support. Unfortunately each hardware vendor is implementing the "standard" differently.

This release is believed to be of Beta quality. Please report you test results at mepiscommunity.org

LinuxFormat Praises MEPIS and Anti-MEPIS

Posted Thu, 07/14/2011 - 17:05 by warren

LinuxFormat Magazine Issue 147 for August 2011, has a very complementary review of SimplyMEPIS 11.0 and AntiX 11.0, the MEPIS derivative for older hardware. The article isn't published online, so to read it you'll need to get LinuxFormat at a bookstore or news stand.

They say: "The best thing about AntiX, though, is that it doesn't feel like a compromise." And of SimplyMEPIS: "most report excellent hardware support and rock solid stability with above average performance."

How to update MEPIS signing key

Posted Wed, 06/22/2011 - 14:58 by warren

The signing key for the MEPIS package pools expired Jan 22, 2011. Who knew we would be around so long?

The attached file is the new public key that you need in order to install MEPIS packages.

To install the key:

Download the key file into a directory of your choice. You may need to right click on the attachment link and select something like "Save Link As..."

In the download directory, open a terminal as root and run this command: apt-key add MEPISdev.asc

This will install the key on the apt keyring.

Then when you use apt or synaptic, the MEPIS pools should work normally.
