I have used Mepis 11 for the last two years and have been very happy with it. Regrettably however, the maintainer, Warren Woodford, seems to have dropped it, although there is nothing official about this and no-one has stepped forward to take over. From the Mepis website :

Does anyone has more information on this matter?
Rather than another maintainer taking over, there have been two active forks, antiX and MX-14 (lightweight and middleweight), both maintained by Anticapitalista, and some Mepis users are going with those. Some others, including me, have gone to SolydX or SolydK which are also Debian based and have the default desktop of Xfce and KDE respectively.
