Hello everybody!
Newbee on Mepis 8 installed a few days ago on my 701 EEEPC 4G on a SD card, after:
eeeubuntu, 8.04.1, pretty good,
Mandriva 2008 spring 1: same but tired to wait...
and of course Xandros, very fast and Windows like, but tired to re-install...
By the way is antiX samt than Mepis or a light one?

Antix uses Mepis as a base but uses a light weight window manager and lighter application rather than the full blown desktop of KDE. It makes better use of resources.

Hello droopyvert!

If you installed already Mepis 8 on your eeePC, it is quite simple to install AntiX: AntiX uses the mepis installer.
I have AntiX-M8-test2 installed on a USB stick on my EeePC 701 4G; also tried M-7.5 on a SD card
wifi works with antix-M8; use wicd to connect.

eeebuntu and Mandriva 2008 were too heavy, slow (more than 2 minutes to boot)

With antix I have a fine selection of applications.

My laptop runs Mepis 8 beta5

Good bye Ubuntu...
