Just look at the Five Fingers shoes. That's so peculiar louboutin shoes and cute. The magical power of this shoes is louboutin shoes red that it makes you have no feeling of shoes. When you wear it, it looks like louboutin pumps you walk on the road with christian louboutin Daffodil bare foot, just because the shape of the shoes is louboutin boots the same as your own foot, with five fingers. As if your own foot were dyed, the shoes are colorful, which you can pick them at your pleasure. Although it seems to sound weird, in my louboutin heels opinion, the shoes should be designed in this way. The five fingers style should replace of the arch style. It suits the beach, high land and louboutin flats mountain. You can wear it to travel around all the natural landscapes with varied topography. And it is not necessary to worry about that it will be worn out, 'cause it is specifically designed for those difficult terrains. Patching it with a simple summer wear seems cheap louboutin shoes to be a nice idea. It will be definite the most fashionable costume in this summer. Perhaps you will enjoy the pictures which were shot by digi-cameras or your own cellphone Daffodil louboutin camera when you soaked yourself in smiling and chatting with others by wearing the Five-Fingers shoes. That's absolutely one of your most precise memories.

Beryl is available automatically. You don’t have to get it through Synaptic; you find it in the menu and start it.

after reading comments on PCLinuxOS at http://pclinuxos2007.blogspot.com i tried it. PCLOS is better than Mepis. Try it and then comment.

by sudhansu sekhar on Thursday 13th of September 2007 at 20:37

pity about writing to a usb drive that you keep
getting a message
that
’’you do not have permission to access that drive’’
like a lot of other Linux distro’s I have used
no easy answer
lucky i can write to a SD memory card

by alan sullivan on Sunday 19th of August 2007 at 09:58

Only annoying fact:
winxp partitions, flashmemorysticks and -cards have to be unplugged after starting Mepis and plugged in again before showing an icon.
No tweaking of /etc/fstab seems to work untilnow
Show unmounted drives is checked

Why are you using GFTP to transfer a file before you play it? SAMBA not working right out of the box? Somebody needs to royally fix SAMBA and make it work by DEFAULT. That means whatever default setting are installed, automatically allows you to browse windows shares, and also automatically shares some public folders of the distro. I am so sick of dicking around with SAMBA in every clean install of every distro just trying to figure out how to get it to just plain WORK.

I previously had a 32 bit AMD system, and got very excited when I had both networks running within minutes after the CD install...I’ve tried about every popular distro...SuSE, Fedora (everything from FC 4 up), madriva, ad infinitum, trying to find a distribution that would free me from Redmond, to no avail. I’ve now upgraded to an Athlon 64 3000, 1gig of appropriate ram, and have an atheros-based (Belkin, PCI) wifi card for internet, and the built in ethernet card for a second network, where I can do it. My goal is to build a DAW (digital audio workstation) that will do multitrack audio and midi recording. Will the 64 bit version work for that??? Are there apps such as Ardour, Rosegarden, ALSA, and JACK, available for simplyMEPIS? I’d gladly pay for something that worked after all the frustration I’ve had!

After reading all these reviews I burn off : PCLinuxOS Jr. P-93-a , and SimpleMepis 6.5 to try. I’am on cable behind a Netgear router. I couldnt configure PCLinux to connect to the internet. To many pages of choises to click on! After a hr. I gave up, put in the Simple Mepis 6.5 Cd. After about 4-5 mintues every thing look loaded, my interent connection was configured for me! If Linux OS is to grow the First step needs to be made easy , get then connective to the internet!

"After choosing and installing Wine from the repository, I could not find it in my Mepis 6.5 installation !?

Is this a Mepis-defect?

Jan"

I think thats because you are using 64-Bit

The information in this article pertains to 64 bit version of SimplyMEPIS

This article will list things that don’t work in SimplyMEPIS 64 bit version.

1. There’s no Java plug-in for Firefox on 64 bit (it works in Konqueror and Opera).
2. Some audio codecs (WMA) cannot be installed.
3. Wine package is not available from the repositories, it can be installed using these instructions and compiled using these instructions
4. To install 32 bit packages use this command (you might need to install 32 bit libraries)

dpkg -i --force-architecture packagename.deb

You made an error concerning ntfs. There is no need to install a ntfs driver. During the testing phase for the development of 6.5, the ntfs-3g driver was added to give full read and write capability right from the live cd.

Concerning wireless, if your wireless card works when you’re using the live cd, your connection settings will be copied to the hard disk if you install Mepis to your hard disk. Same goes for your chosen desktop settings if you choose the official nvidia driver when booting the live cd.

Starting KDE 3D is accomplished (on livecd and after hd-installation) at the login-screen. Just select KDE 3D instead of KDE It IS mentioned on the Livecd login-screen.......:-)

Just to clarify trashcat’s post, Beryl doesn’t /require/ AIGLX. It works just fine with Xgl. Wasn’t an issue on PCLOS2007.

by RBurt on Monday 9th of April 2007 at 13:41

Simply MEPIS is just beautiful and user friendly distro. I love it.
Everything works. WOW!!!

by New mepis user on Monday 9th of April 2007 at 07:38

Agree with Satcmo: Beryl works fine from LiveCD and "first second" of install on my 2 year old Dell Precision M20 with ATI FireGL3100 (same as X300). As for Xorg vs. fglrx... well fglrx IS a better driver IF you need 3D and OpenGL. Do you really need it (unless you do rendering or play Tux?) or not is another matter. I do not, really. But Warren said support is coming, so... Generally, I’m VERY pleased with MEPIS on my laptop (immediately recognised my intel 2200 wifi card as well, plus bluetooth, my 3 external USB and 1 Firewire drives, USB thumbdrives, Brother 2040 printer, archaic EPSON 1200U scanner etc.) Over the last 2 years I tried 10 or 12 distros and ALWAYS returned to MEPIS. Warren, Thanks!

Satchmo is right, I’m using a Toshiba laptop with ATI card and 3D desktop was working right from the live cd

by frnz on Monday 9th of April 2007 at 00:41

Love Mepis, except for its annoying habit of switching assignment of NIC cards each
boot, e.g. eth0, then eth1, then wlan0. Resorted to CLI to fix it. BTW, Mepis on my IBM
Thinkpad detected the ipw2200 card instantly and connected to DSL router/modem
(when it wasn’t trying to connect via [un]wired NIC ;-).

by lotusburg on Sunday 8th of April 2007 at 22:18

i use simply mepis and the ATI thing comes with a lot of strings attached...
basically beryl works for older cards with the Xorg driver...the Xorg driver doesnt support newer cards and the Fglrx (proprietary) driver don’t support AIGLX which beryl requires
the Fglrx of course is a much better driver in all other categories besides AIGLX (which is on the list of things to be added in the next few months.

You download some XGL pakcages and compiz packages from synaptic and write yourself a little script to start beryl with the Fglrx driver, but its pretty unstable and should only be used for demonstrations.

I don’t like beryl anyway, but for those of you with newer ATi cards who do, support is on the way.

by trashcat on Sunday 8th of April 2007 at 18:31

You can choose between a plain KDE session and a KDE 3D desktop in the kdm ’session’ menu. Of course, as far as I know, there’s no chance you will have it working on vmware, but when you install the distro it’s right there.

by Satchmo on Sunday 8th of April 2007 at 14:09

Satchmo >

I stand corrected - I couldn’t find it though... Any hints as to where it was? Not that it mattered in a VMWare session though...

by Seopher on Sunday 8th of April 2007 at 12:38

"...It doesn’t have all the razzle dazzle of PCLinuxOS2007 (Compiz/Beryl enabled from the second you install it)..."

Actually, SimplyMepis 6.5 comes with a configured and fully functional Beryl desktop, not only from the second you install it, but right from the live boot. It even works on ATI cards.
