MEPIS Linux is a user-friendly operating system based on Debian Stable that “just works”. It comes live, meaning it runs from your CD/DVD or USB drive so you can use it on your Windows or Mac machines without installing. Clicking an icon on your desktop will step you through what is arguably the easiest Linux installer around, and you will be up and going in no time. MEPIS comes with much of the software most users need, and hundreds of additional open-source programs are just a click away--Community members keep you up-to-date.

A search and launch system called KRunner for running commands and finding useful information
Many upgraded or newly developed utilities such as Network Manager
Beautiful graphics with a wide range of optional effects
You are going to love the way this new desktop improves performance and usability!
The MEPIS magic
SimplyMEPIS 8.5 also ships with its own graphical tool suite:
the Network Assistant, to configure and test a wired or wireless network
the System Assistant, to create a live USB thumbdrive, repair a partition, etc.
the User Assistant, to easily manage user accounts
the X-Windows Assistant, to install graphics card drivers, set monitor models, etc.
the Welcome Center, to guide the new user through the first steps
the NDisWrapper Manager, to make it easy to use legacy drivers for wireless access
These tools combine to make a powerful suite that is intuitive and easy to use.
Hardware That's Not Hard
If you've ever installed any operating system you know the many hours spent installing drivers and getting your hardware and peripherals to work. The SimplyMEPIS hardware detection takes care of installing the drivers for you. It checks on every boot for new hardware, then loads the right driver. You can even check your hardware before installation using the new option called "R/W filesystem" that lets you temporarily install the necessary drivers.
