Has anyone else tried SimplyMepis live cd? I obviously use Kanotix but I have just switched my laptop (IBM T40) to Mepis (HD Install). The live cd worked great and really impressed me.

*Everything worked including the Centrino Wireless. Even with the hard drive install I don't have to modprobe ipw2100 and pump, ipw2100 is loaded normally and all I have to do is pump to get an ip.

* The fonts are wonderful without running additional scripts. Never to small to read, etc.

*The installer is great

*The install is a bit leaner, which I like, APT makes it easy enough to GET whatever else you want.

*My ATI 7500 mobility which I could only get 300-450 fps in glxgears with Kanotix, I now get 1000+ fps. 3D enabled which I could not figure out how to do . Mepis did it for me!

*Only negative-The Forums are not as extensive as Knoppix, and there is no Kano (Kanotix Forums) to answer every post himself!

Give it a try, and post your results on what equipment.

EDIT: Please excuse my ignorance and speaking too quickly about the Mepis Forums. After spending some time there, they are excellent and the community is very helpful. There is no reason not to try out this excellent distro.
