NewsForge: MEPIS May Be Going Ubuntu Feb 9, 2006, 20 :30 UTC (4 Talkback[s]) (9985 reads) (Other stories by Joe Brockmeier)
"MEPIS, one of the more popular Debian-derived distributions, may be moving in a new direction soon. MEPIS founder Warren Woodford is considering building future MEPIS releases from Ubuntu sources rather than from Debian.
"SimplyMEPIS 3.4-3, which is scheduled for release today, has been quite a challenge to build, according to Woodford. 'It's taking up all my time, fighting the Etch pool.... We've had a lot of trouble, because the Debian community has become so active, it's been difficult to get this out, so I'm looking at alternatives to getting out stable releases...'"
