Where to get MEPISLite?


Posts: 54

I would like to give MEPISLite a try on some older machines, but can't find a link to its ISO location. I volunteer with a group that reburbishes and gives away computers to the needy and would would like to get them off of Windows 98. These machines tend to be in the 300MHz range w/64 MB RAM and I need something lightweight. Does Lite use KDE or something like xfce?

Thaks in advance.

Not Yet Freely Available

Hello steelbottom,

The MepisLite configuration is still being tested and is only available with a subscription. A subscription to Mepis will allow you access to the ftp servers where MepisLite as well as some "extras" CDs are available. The shortest term for a subscription is one month (USD 14.95), but that would allow you to get a copy of the ISO

This is the link to the Mepis Store:

Thanks

Now I just have to decide between the 1 month or the 6 month subscription! The money is worth it if it helps to make MEPIS even better than it already is.

My next big problem... where can I get a MEPIS Linux T-shirt with the Egyptian Tux on it!!! (hint) Eye-wink

T-Shirt Is A Good Idea!

Not a bad idea at all! I'll pass it on. David, are you listening?

Also, I paid for a one-year subscription. I figure it still less than half of what I was paying to purchase SuSE Pro which, though very very good, I have switched from for most of my systems.

Got it

I went ahead and got a 6 month subscription. Got my MEPISLite. Download speed on the MEPIS ftp server is great, too.

BTW, I think Tux would look nice against a nice Sahara sand-colored T. I'll be needing mine in XXL.

Pushy, Pushy

Gee Jim, you don't ask for much do you? First you expect a great operating system, then you expect T-shirts in your size! Next thing, you will want to be able to DOWNLOAD the T-shirt Smiling

I tell ya' this volunteer pay sucks Smiling

I passed on your suggestion to the "Powers That Be".

Let us know how MepisLite works for you!

Jon

You mean I can't?

Wadda ya mean I can't download a T-shirt? Heck, why'd I even bother to get broadband?!!!

My Lindows one is wearing out. Eye-wink

Simplicity, Purity, Fidelity

I have a 6 month subscription

and I'd like to try out MepisLite on an older machine that has a AMD K6 processor with 6G HD and SIS 530 chipset. I looked for it in my account, for there is information about it there, but cannot find the ISO to download.

I need someone to steer me in the right direction.

Thank you for your time!
