A quick word of warning. I was very positively impressed with Mepis 6 , which I used to set up a machine lacking a net connection (from a cover disk!). In some ways it is neater than Knoppix. So this is not intended as a criticism of Mepis.
In the past I have migrated more than one sstem from Knoppix to pure Debian, with no serious glitches. I thought the same was happening with the Mepis 6 install moving toward etch. Then I removed dhclient3 (in order to try dhcpc-client -- not important why) Aptitude required one of the now unused Mepis admin packages to be removed because it was dependent on dhclient3. While I was there I removed a couple of other Mepis-only things. Two minutes later ai came back to the computer to an empty package list on aptitude!. It had cleared /ets/apt/sources.list! So, anyone else going this way: back up your sources.list before cleaning out unused Mepis admin stuff. Sorry, I don't know which Mepis pkg it was.
