SimplyMEPIS 8.5 Review

By

[ Thanks to Jim
Lynch for this link. ]

“The last time I looked at SimplyMEPIS was the 8.0
release. In this review I’ll be taking a look at the latest
version, SimplyMEPIS Linux 8.5. SimplyMEPIS is based on Debian, and
it uses KDE as its desktop environment.

“What’s New In This Release

“Here’s a sample of the new stuff you’ll find in this
release:

“2.6.32 kernel
KDE 4.3
The SimplyMEPIS Welcome Center
NDisWrapper Manager

“The Welcome Center

“SimplyMEPIS now comes with the MEPIS Welcome Center. The
welcome center provides helpful links to support resources,
language packs, popular applications and additional community
software. The welcome center is a nice addition to SimplyMEPIS
though it’s not quite as slick as the one that comes with Linux
Mint.”
