SimplyMEPIS 8.5

,----[ Quote ]
| The last time I looked at SimplyMEPIS was the 
| 8.0 release. In this review Iâll be taking a 
| look at the latest version, SimplyMEPIS Linux 
| 8.5. SimplyMEPIS is based on Debian, and it 
| uses KDE as its desktop environment.
| 
| [...]
| 
| Summary: 	SimplyMEPIS offers a viable, KDE-
| based alternative to some of the better known 
| desktop distros. Itâs worth considering if 
| you want a workhorse desktop distro rather 
| than a showhorse.

| In conclusion, while technically this was a
| minor version update, SimplyMepis 8.5
| represents a big change for developers and
| users. As the last official KDE 3 holdout
| moves on, it signals the true beginnings of
| a new era. I still get emails every once in
| a while from users complaining about being
| forced to migrate to KDE 4 and for that
| body of users, SimplyMepis 8.5 is a
| wonderful transitional release. It presents
| KDE 4 in an environment that remains very
| similar in appearance to its previous KDE 3
| desktop. For SimplyMepis users, it still
| very much like home. For new users, it
| could be a gentle introduction to KDE 4.
