Thanks XTremo, I've not tried Mepis lately, not for at least a year, so I'll give the latest one a whack next time I see it on one of the local PC mags. Still I've had no problems at all with Ubuntu 8.10, and one hesitates to change a good horse for an uncertain one... until then, I'll have a shufti at their website etc and especially the Mepis community forum as you recommend.

Well that's the great thing about Linux.....so much choice. Ubuntu is a superb distro.......but it just didn't do it for me as I prefer the KDE environment.
Yes, I know Kubuntu is available but I just prefer a native KDE distro.....hence I always gravitate towards Mepis, Mandriva, and Suse.

Kubuntu is also a native KDE distro. You will not find any trace of Gnome or any other DE/WM in Kubuntu.
Same is with Mandriva and SuSe. Both have option to install any or both DEs.

Agreed casper.....but as far as I'm aware Mandriva and Suse are primarily KDE with a Gnome option, whereas Kubuntu is Ubuntu packed with KDE. Not that there's anything wrong with that of course.
As far as the Ubuntu's go....they're great distros and have a huge following. But I never gelled with them myself. Not their fault......it's solely down to personal taste.

I like the "underdogs" out there.....and I'm about to try out Zenwalk 6. I used Zenwalk 5 for a while and was very impressed with it. Good community too.
