ProMEPIS Linux is a Linux OS based on Ubuntu that can be run from your CD drive without installation. Where it shines is its easy, 100% "point and click" installation, and automatic detection of not only "normal" computer hardware but also popular webcams, the latest wireless network cards, "Winmodems" that usually work only with Windows, digital cameras, scanners, and other devices.

    It's probably pretty good, but I'll never know. I tried many times, but it wouldn't completely load and froze near the end of the attempted installations.

    Regrettably, Catchpole, your knowledge of Linux seems to be non-existent and your comments help no one save, perhaps, for making you look like a "big man" in, only, your own eyes. Bluntly you are nothing but a troll. Simply Mepis isn't a bad distribution by any means but what it gains in some customisation of the *buntu code base it, IMHO, loses by having a lesser number of expert users to turn to should you need guidance to solve a problem. New users would be better off, again IMHO, if they stuck with a main stream *buntu and more experienced users might be better suited to Arch or other distributions. Still, the code is good and it is an excellent OS thus a 5 star rating.

    finnlayer your review is an unfair assessment of this distro. SM Linux is not for people with your needs or wants i.e. games. Yes, Windows is better suited for that.

    This is a good distro. It's simple to install and worked with my wireless when some other distros would not. I would recommend this for the first time Linux user.
