Re: [LUG] Live CD's

RE: Mepis Linux
A word of warning about Mepis/Debian compatibility.
The text that follows was taken from one of the installer
dialogs.

"Debian Compatibility
 MEPIS Linux is compatible with most packages made for a
 recent version of the 'unstable' build of Debian.
 But be warned, the MEPIS Linux kernel is different than the
 Debian kernel. Debian packages that modify the Linux
 kernel are almost never compatible with MEPIS. This
 includes kernel packages and precompiled device drivers."
