MEPIS

Summary

     MEPIS is a set of Linux distributions, distributed as Live CDs that can be installed onto a hard disk drive. MEPIS is developed and maintained by an active community begun by Warren Woodford and the eponymous company MEPIS LLC.

     The most popular MEPIS distribution is SimplyMEPIS, which is based primarily on Debian stable. It can either be installed onto a hard drive or used as a Live CD, which makes it externally bootable for troubleshooting and repairing many operating systems. It includes the KDE desktop environment.

     MEPIS LLC offers senior consulting services for product strategy, architecture design, business and systems analysis, and cross-platform software development.

Requirement

• Intel Pentium or equivalent including newer Celeron, Xeon, AMD or AMD64 processor • A bootable CDROM drive • 3GB available hard drive space • 256 MB RAM The 64 bit versions of MEPIS will only work with a 64 bit processor. If your system was made before 2006, it almost certainly has a 32 bit processor. If your system only meets the minimum requirements, performance may be poor and it may be necessary to manually adjust the installation configuration
