That's what I have heard, too. Ubuntu has its own repository, which is ma=

by drawing from Debian's and updating to fit into Ubuntu. SimplyMEPIS-6.0=

is based on the Ubuntu, with MEPIS detection, install and maintenance scrip=

SUSE is (Was? I'm hearing a LOT of complaints about 10.1's quality) a grea=

distro, but Novell has disabled DVD playing, and one has to replace the=20
players and add the special files.

MEPIS used to have a problem detecting a USB memory stick unless it was=20
plugged in during the reboot. I had to use fdisk and umount manually to=20
mount it. But, since MEPIS 3.4.3 the USB detection has worked perfectly.=

That is also true for MEPIS 6.0.
