 Distrowatch reviewDid any of you see Distrowatch Weekly (Issue #407)?
From the review's ending paragraph:
I agree: Mepis 11 is a great distribution. Thanks for such a great work; keep it up! |

Re: Distrowatch review That review on Distrowatch, along with the one at Blogspot, were the main reasons I tried Mepis 11. So glad I did. It's been a while since I ran a KDE distro and I had heard some bad things about KDE 4. Well, Mepis allayed my fears of it, they did a beautiful job taming KDE 4 and making it usable.

Re: Distrowatch review
I would say that's an example of Warren listening to what the community wanted. Many had already tested KDE 4 and knew where it fell short or could be made to act more like KDE 3, and he responded by making fixes, not just telling users to "get used to it" like some other distros. _________________ Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 14 inch: 4 GB RAM, Intel i5-480 processor, Intel HD graphics and sound, Intel 1000 "n" WiFi, Acer CrystalEye webcam, Hot Keys, suspend, hibernate, KDE openGL effects: all work out of the box with 64-bit MEPIS 11! |

Re: Distrowatch review
What I've always liked about MEPIS, since back in the 3.4-3 days, was that his tweaks and configs and customizations of the default KDE desktop are very, very close to what I would do myself. We seem to be on the same page. (I get the same feeling with PCLOS, to a lesser extent.) Sure, I do make some changes, but nothing very substantial. I'd be happy using MEPIS as-is, straight out of the box. _________________ Asus M4A87TD USB3 AMD 870 Socket AM3 Athlon II X4 630 2.8GHz Quad Core GeForce 9500 GT 1GB PCIe, nVidia TwinView Kingston 2G x 2 1333 DDR3 WD Caviar 500GB x 2 SATA hdd |

Re: Distrowatch review I don't think anybody needed to tell Warren that, he uses MEPIS so he did that for his benefit in the first place, it's always good when people "eat their own dog food" sometimes I wonder if other developers use their products. Does Shuttleworth really use Unity? Did KDE people really use KDE 4.0?
