“I’ve tried several versions of the SimplyMEPIS but
never really got hooked on the visual appearance leaving me
wondering what beginners find so appealing in SimplyMEPIS. With the
release of SimplyMEPIS 8.5.01 I decided this was the perfect time
to give it a try and see what all the fuss is about.“SimplyMEPIS 8.5.01 features the Linux kernel 2.6.32 and KDE
4.3.4 but the press release states that SimplyMEPIS 8.5 “retains
much of the familiar MEPIS/KDE look and feel, so users can slowly
become familiar with the new features”“The SimplyMEPIS 8.5.01 installation was pretty
straightforward.”
