Mepis Rocks!
I installed SimplyMepis 3.3.1, and I installed it to the hdd, I hated it at first, because it would not let me change graphics driver.
so eventually I came to personalize it how I personally like it, with less bloated bottom bar, I added some repositories. I tried xorg, but it had some error, so I didn't mind xfree, I installed kernel-sources, and got extra packages from synaptic, such as gnome, themes, etc. I did the nvidia driver. and in the current state I got to, I really am impressed! This is possibly the best distro I've ever used, it just took some customizing fun. Here's a screenshot of my KDE desktop... http://f-designs.net/snapshot1.png |
Your xmms skin looks cool. Where did you get it?

damn ive been trying to find that theme? ... help
the kde theme that is ;) |
oh it's from kde-look.org, it's called baghira.
http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=8692 I know I posted this topic, but oddly enough I ended up not using mepis anymore :D I like my new slackware desktop, here's a screenshot in case you're interested for some reason, I just like it more because I got portage installed, and slapt-get is good to keep the system upgraded :-D. http://www.f-designs.net/slackware.png |
ive just installed mepis have to say its so far the best. i just need to find out what services start at boot time so i can disable the ones i dont need. i would like to find out if i can use gnome desktop insted of kde. thanks for any help i can get. other distros ive tried are FC3,QILINUX,UBUNTU,FORSIGHT,and some live CD`S so far MEPIS works the best.

For disabling services, refer to this Mepis Wiki Page:
Disabling Services I use KDE so I can't help ya with the Gnome. I installed it once when Warren came out with the 3 extra CDs for Mepis 3.3 but it screwed my KDE up so had to reinstall Mepis. I am pretty sure someone will be along that can tell you how to do it. :) Welcome to Mepis! |
for gnome 2.8, maybe 2.10 if they changed it since I used it, go into synaptic, and go into one of the tabs, I think "options", and go to repositories, and check all the boxes, then hit refresh, and you can now search and install gnome.
sorry for the unclear explanation, but I havent used mepis in awhile :D |
Mepis is indeed the best.
