| The April issue of Linux Format says that this is a very good performing system - Pardus 2025.1, and in particular, a good performing KDE system. |

Thanks!
I have not tried it yet. Been doing Mephis, SuSE, cronus, and Mandriva ..not necessarily in that order <G><
Have to try it.

| SimplyMEPIS, now released 8.5, has been running really well, and so has antiX M8.5, which has a prerelease version (Alpha, Beta, and Release Candidates completed) with a release imminent. I am using sidux right now after going through a number of DVD images on the Linux Format LXF 130 April 2025 issue yesterday. Just mostly getting on the computer to check Email and clear out the usual cruft. |

Mephis 8.5 still has the same problems it had. 600 x 600 when at all on newer boxes without a lot of CLI that may or may not give a little better resolution on those where it can be installed at all.. I have about given up on it on the newer boxes. No longer a NooB OS in those cases. There are too many better solutions that work out of the box for the NooB.
On the older ones it runs well.

Even on my older machines I can't get Mepis to work well anymore. Doesn't work on either of my older desktops, nor any of my laptops well.

There are manual solutions discussed on the site, but my point is if it requires cli adding sgxfi(?) or the french new nvidia drivers, as an example, it is no longer the easy, ( NooB ) distro for which it has been noted in the past.
Other than weird 1200 X or so 5 inch high display in the middle of a large monitor on one box, and 600 x 600 crappy display on another, ( on the ones that would install at all ) everything else seems to work out of the box if they could just get the xserver worked out.
I pointed out my problems with this during Alpha and BETA testing. I am pulling for them.
SuSE, Kubuntu, a couple Arch based, and several others installed on each of the aforementioned without much of a hitch. The only ones with problems were Debian based. In fairness, Thor, the TA790GXE AMD ATI, gave a few other OS, including win7 problems about drivers, but all was accomplished with win7 and Chakra, as an example, through regular update procedures. SuSE, Mint and Kubuntu worked OK out of the box.

I have SimplyMEPIS on the D600, but I can also tell you that I have to keep an eye on that version. With the 8.0 release, the very first build did not work - got a PAE kernel error. By testing it, I got word to Warren and he fixed that in the very next build. Had another less serious issue with 8.5 in an early build, got it reported and fixed. I have, however, had to recently keep on top of it in order to get things going and keeping them working, so the long term support of that platform is a bit in question.
BTW, the Dell Latitude D600 right now has sidux and SimplyMEPIS on it. My son, who uses it, tends to like SimplyMEPIS for most things, but I think that is because he has different browser bookmarks set on the two systems - and he almost exclusively uses the browser - to do research - he is a nine year old bookworm, and he is like daddy. My mom, at least when I was a kid, used to say "You have a one track mind!" I chuckle, because that's my Karsten today! He plays games and listens to music on it too. |
