The developers of MEPIS Linux, an easy-to-use distribution for Linux beginners, have switched their base system from Debian to Ubuntu Linux. If the initial tests prove successful, they will most likely base all future releases of SimplyMEPIS on the distribution which, although derived from Debian, has a more predictable release cycle and an enviable momentum that has already pushed it to the top of many popularity charts. Designed for experienced beta testers, the first experimental release of the Ubuntu-based SimplyMEPIS 6.0 is only available from the project's premium server (starting at US$14.99), although subsequent betas and the final release should be distributed publicly.
