SJ - I'll look for your posts on MepisLovers forums then :D

Seriously though - it's a good place to go if you need any help with setting it up. :thumbs:

Stay tuned . . . I hope I have learned something . . . prolly NOT . . so I'll need a pointer or two

I just want to know what went right with the last Meppis install that I am using as a server for my home theater system .

I am just curious this time . . and I'm NOT messing with the successful system on the other .

Nooooo . . . don't do it SJ, you know what will happen :stare: :D

571291 2007-07-24 10:15:00 I have found no trouble with the person who advertises Linux distros on Trademe . I have bought several from him - he sends them Post Free .

For a couple of years, I stuck with Xandros in its various versions up to Xandros 4 . 1 OCE . However, I must say that I have found PCLinuxOS 2007 version to be very easy to run as a live CD and then install . Been having a look at Klikit recently - there seems to be quite a bit of interest in that offshoot of Kubuntu in the Xandros and PCLinuxOS forums . Xandros now doesn't get used at all .

If this 67 year old can set up and use something like PCLOS and not have to worry about the command line, then why not have a go? Admittedly, it was one of my retirement projects to come to terms with Linux . I now feel confident enough to find my way around most of the distros that I have tried . Windows went into the broken glass bin in September 2005:lol:
