Two other great Linux distributions: MEPIS & Mint (ComputerWorld)

[Posted December 23, 2009 by ris]

Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols takes a look at MEPIS and Mint. "MEPIS is easily the most obscure of my favorite distributions. Unlike most Linux distributions, it has neither a company nor a community behind it. MEPIS is almost entirely the product of one developer, Warren Woodford."

Linux Mint folks were completely clueless about the difference between "freely downloadable" and "freely redistributable" at least a year or two ago :(

Hope the kids have grown up.
