A correction to several of the "facts" presented in the article

Warren does publish his name, it's Warren Wolford

ProMEPIS no longer exists in the form you speak of, all its features have been merged into 3.3 and greater releases of SimplyMEPIS. ProMEPIS should soon be released as 3 extra cds for mepis to install extra software.

It appears you are comparing ProMEPIS to the 2004 series of releases of SimplyMEPIS which are quite outdated, I suggest you try out the current version (3.3.1-1) and see how it strikes your fancy.

Users prefering a more server oriented version of MEPIS should try out the SOHO server version of MEPIS currently in beta and I strongly recommend you check out TaFusion versions of MEPIS offered at [visit link]
