Kubuntu 8.10 vs Mepis 7.9.94 vs Puppy 4.1.2

| Okay, how about a smack down between 3 of my favorite distros? Okay, Kubuntu
| is not my favorite as this is the first time I’ve tried it, but it is a
| biggy. I have ragged and ragged on Ubuntu even though I have tried to like
| it. I do prefer KDE, so I’m going to give that an honest look and see if
| that warms me up to the Ubuntu brand. I’m pitting this distro giant against
| Mepis which has been a fav of mine since discovering Linux and is responsible
| for me falling for KDE. The release I’m running is 7.9.94 which is the RC1
| of 8.0. Not quite as stable or developed so the advantage goes here to
| Kubuntu before we even start. Puppy has been my light weight fav for a long
| time and is an odd one out in this little comparison. But we’ll see how well
| this little distro measures up. Since I’m running totally off of live CD’s,
| Puppy actually gets an advantage as it runs totally in RAM.

SimplyMEPIS 8.0 - Review
,----[ Quote ]
| If you're a Linux enthusiast, you have probably heard of SimplyMEPIS. It is a
| Debian-based distribution, aiming at being simple and usable out of the box.
| Currently, version 7.0 is available to the users, with advanced betas of
| version 8.0 getting ever more ready toward the release.

|
| SimplyMEPIS is a nice distro. It's neither spectacular nor catastrophic. It
| sits somewhere in the middle between very simple and very un-simple distros.
| Compared to Ubuntu or SUSE, it does lag somewhat behind.
|
| The greatest disappointment are the bleak live session and the clumsy network
| support, which could have been so easily avoided. On the other hand, it does
| come with lots of goodies pre-baked, like Flash or MP3 codecs. When it comes
| to configurations, the layout of menus and the wording used are not very
| intuitive. Yet, it is fast and good-looking.
