I am a long time lurker of the CLUG and WLUG. Currently running a multitude of OS's mainly Mepis 6.5 RC3 and Puppy 2.15CE. I'm loving the current Vista gossip and the fact that Linux might hit the desktop tops soon! Has anyone considered teaching Windows users transitioning to Linux to use Mepis? It uses KDE (easy transition for Windows Users) Hardware recognition is through the roof, Very easy to set up (its already set up), Great support forums and is Based on Ubuntu LTS www.mepis.org <http://www.mepis.org/> Hopefully will meet some of you soon at a meeting or two. Look forward to your replies!
