Hi Everybody! I have been using Mepis for years as a Windows replacement. In Windows I was able to routinely install new software without breaking things.
Of course, Windows would break all by itself. OK, the viruses, spyware, automatic update and maybe the eula helped. However, in Linux I am a mere user. Can't figure out the docs, or even find them most of the time. After at least 5 years I have no idea what kind of software package to use with Mepis. I have been relying on the built in Synaptic to install software, and it works OK if the way-old versions will do. However, Flash 10 is out and as soon as a new Flash is out all the lemmings flock to it for whatever. http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?promoid=BUIGP They have .tar, .rpm, YUM or .deb flavors. Which do I use for Mepis 7; Firefox 2.0.0.11? -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
