Mepis predates Ubuntu by 4 or 5 years. It has always been 
a good debian based distro. Although, IMHO, not as nice as 
Libranet.

Mepis was a small, mostly one man opertion, but Warren did 
a good job of putting things together. As the community 
grew, so did the Mepis team.

For version 6, the Mepis team decided to base their distro 
on Ubuntu instead of vanilla debian. This lets them get a 
more stable release to base their upgrades on each year.

Over all Mepis is one of the nicest commercial distros out 
there.

For me Mepis makes Ubuntu almost useful, instead of 
frustrating.
