“Warren Woodford has released SimplyMEPIS 8.4.99, RC2 of MEPIS
8.5, now available from MEPIS and public mirrors. The ISO files for
32 and 64 bit processors are SimplyMEPIS-CD_8.4.99-rc2_32.iso and
SimplyMEPIS-CD_8.4.99-rc2_64.iso respectively. Deltas are also
available.

“Warren reported: “In the past week, we’ve fixed some bugs
reported by the community and updated the MEPIS Assistants. And
we’ve updated some packages containing bug fixes: digikam 1.1.0,
ghostscript 8.71, kdebase-workspace 4.3.4-5 and wl-modules
5.60.48.36. The community is hard at work on translations, updated
manual, and a couple of new utilities. I expect RC3 to be ready in
a week or so. It should be the last RC before we go final with
8.5.”

“Progress on SimplyMEPIS development can be followed at

and SIs interested in MEPIS security, server, workstation or
desktop technology should contact sales@mepis.com”
