SimplyMEPIS 6.0 Linux Final Release

As I wrote in one of my previous post, the all new Mepis 6.0 will be using Ubuntu as its engine and feature KDE desktop environment, which can directly put it against Kubuntu distribution.

MEPIS has released SimplyMEPIS 6.0. This is the first public release of SimplyMEPIS to incorporate an Ubuntu foundation. Based on the Dapper LTS package pool, 6.0 is designed for stable long term use and support.

SimplyMEPIS 6.0 is a complete and safe desktop environment designed to meet the needs of everyday computer users. SimplyMEPIS offers advanced hardware autodetection, multimedia integration, and an easy to use installer. Featured software includes KDE 3.5.3, Kontact 1.2.3, OpenOffice 2.0.2, Firefox 1.5.0.4, Thunderbird 1.5.0.4, RealPlayer 10.0.7, as well as hundreds of other top quality applications. SimplyMEPIS 6.0 runs the latest security patched 2.6.15 Linux kernel from Ubuntu-Security.

Warren Woodford of MEPIS said, “Converting MEPIS to the Ubuntu pool while incorporating the latest Open Source software advances has taken several months, but it’s been worth the effort.”
