Why SimplyMEPIS Linux?
Try SimplyMEPIS, Then Decide For Yourself
SimplyMEPIS as a Live CD allows you to run the Linux operating system and all the programs from your CDROM drive before you install. There is no need to backup all your data, delete the whole hard disk and install the system, just to find it doesn't meet your needs and expectations.
Insert the SimplyMepis CD in your drive and reboot your computer. Simple menu choices will quickly load SimplyMEPIS Linux allowing you to login. You'll have a SimplyMEPIS desktop just as it would be when you install it to your hard drive. Test the included software, see if it supports all your hardware, and assure that your internet connection works. You can also use SimplyMEPIS as a recovery CD for troubleshooting computers and providing the tools to save your valuable data.
We know you're going to like SimplyMEPIS. So, when you can't resist any longer, start the MEPIS graphical installer which guides you through the install process.
Programs, Programs, Programs...
SimplyMEPIS arrives with a complete choice of the best of programs necessary for most people's productivity. We already took the load off your shoulders by picking the best selection of applications available to work for you. But, SimplyMEPIS Linux doesn't limit you. More than 65,000 software packages are available to SimplyMEPIS using its package manager. All you need is an internet connection.
Whether or not you run a business, you need office software. SimplyMEPIS includes the award winning OpenOffice with word processor, spreadsheet, database connectivity and presentation software. Total compatibility with MS Word or Excel documents, presentations, drawing and calculations are only a few of this program's features. SimplyMEPIS also includes a program to manage your checkbook, and even a project manager. With e-mail, Mozilla browser, chat, and a host of other useful programs, SimplyMEPIS succeeds in satisfying almost everyone.
For individuals, SimplyMEPIS doesn't leave out the fun. Play games like Tux Racer and Frozen Bubble, watch videos and DVD with Xine or Real Player, surf the internet with flash and java enabled right out of the box. Play your favorite music with the X Multimedia System or compose, record and sample it yourself with Audacity. Connect your iPod to your computer and your digital camera or organize songs and photos and edit them with the Gimp photo editor. You can also connect to chat networks like Yahoo or ICQ and stay in touch with relatives and friends via free internet telephony with Skype.
When managing your computer, the unique "MEPIS System Center", "MEPIS Installation Center", and "MEPIS Utilities" integrate the tools you need, including extensive online help. All this is included in SimplyMEPIS and if you need more, the rest of the 65,000 software packages is just two clicks away with KPackage, the graphical software installer.
Hardware That's Not Hard

The SimplyMEPIS hardware detection takes care of installing the drivers for you. It checks on every boot for new hardware, then loads the right driver.
