  1. Re:Best debian distro for newbie on A Review of Ubuntu Warty Release · · Score: 1

    Try SimplyMEPIS 2004.03 - it's Debian based and has what most newbies might ask for already integrated and does not follow any strict free vs. non-free ideas as Debian itself does. Here's its DistroWatch site: http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=mepi s

  2. Re:Knoppix knx-hdinstall: best option for KDE love on A Review of Ubuntu Warty Release · · Score: 1

    The best option for KDE Lovers right now seems to be SimplyMEPIS 2004.03 -> www.mepis.org
    Knoppix is a great LiveCD never offered what one shoud expect from a Debian installation if installed to disk. (Might habe changed, but I think it has not:) Beeing based on a Mixture of Testing, Unstable and back in the day even stable it's been quite a mess to 'get right' in the end.

    SimplyMEPIS right now is based on testing, but (as I aways do) is easily changed to unstable and runs like a charm with all the convienence stuff a desktop user could ask for: Java, Flash, even the Win4Lin Kernel Patch is included. Only thing missing is some kind of automount.

    If that's not 'good enough' eithere let's wait for Debian Desktop Distribution and the Kalyxo CD of it... this should be _the_ KDE Debian Installation around ;)
