| 1160396 | 2010-12-31 18:17:00 | PT - Warren's working on a new version of Mepis - currently alpha 4 but looking very solid. Expect a beta in the next week. Might be worth using instead of 8.5 stable. New version is Debian Squeeze base with more up to date version of X. Have been waiting for it's beta/rc release so I can upgrade my own netbook. |
