  1. Egad, no more I tell thee... SuSe 9.2 anyone? by tod_miller · · Score: 1

    In Korea, Gemran Language Versions Are Only For Old People...

    Seriously though, SuSe is a .de founded linux distro with worldwide appeal, and there are many other talented linux paraphenalia being churned out of those clever Germans.

    Translated SuSe 9.2 and MEPIS comparison

    I wanted animated to throw times a view of SimplyMEPIS

    It might be easier to learn German and read the original...

      In Korea nur alte Leute verwenden SimplyMEPIS.

      Indeed, the Google German -> English translator does amusing things when confronted with the local dialect of Steiermark (where I live). But you're fine until you start speaking or writing English that sounds like the Google translation

  3. The source? by samjam · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Has anybody had trouble getting the source to simply mepis?

    FSF Europe mailing list had a complaint about this recently.

    I just thought I'd mention it; sometimes GPL responsibilities aren't fully understood; giving away GPL binaries for without charge free doesn't fulfil GPL requirements.

  4. why "MEPIS" ? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0

    Can anyone explain why they call it "MEPIS". The only Linux distro name stupider than this would be "Ubuntu"
