MepisLite is het lichtere zusje van SimplyMepis die gebaseerd is op de Linux-distributie Debian. MepisLite wordt speciaal aangeboden voor de wat oudere machines zodat deze niet geplaagd worden door langzame prestaties. Applicaties die standaard meegeleverd worden zijn onder andere KDE 3.3.2, KOffice, Konqueror, GIMP, Skype, Gaim en Acrobat Reader 7.0. Sinds kort is versie 3.3.1-2.test02 van MepisLite beschikbaar met de volgende aankondiging:
MEPISLite 3.3.1-2.test02 is available for public testing via the MEPIS Subscriber's Site and public mirrors. Look in the “testing” subdirectory. For up to 30 days, please send feedback to dev@mepis.org
Now MEPISLite is pinned to the Debian "testing" pool. "Bleeding edge" users and developers should continue to use SimplyMEPIS. Corporate users should contact sales@mepis.com for information about upcoming DCCA compliant versions of MEPIS.
MEPISLite is a lighter-weight Linux for home users new to Linux. It is similar to SimplyMEPIS, except that some packages have been changed to improve performance. Most notably, OpenOffice is replaced with KOffice. The Firefox browser is included but Konqueror is recommended. MEPISLite does not have builtin support for AES encryption. This release was synchronized to the Debian testing pool on August 1, 2005.
This version of MEPISLite includes MEPIS' new Desktop OnTheGo application. Desktop OnTheGo is a completely redesigned successor to the MEPIS Traveller Disc. With Desktop OnTheGo, you can take your desktop everywhere a compatible version of Linux is available, including running from CD. The MEPISLite version of Desktop OnTheGo does not support AES encryption. Desktop OnTheGo is scheduled to be available soon in products from Technalign, SimpleICT, and Forensic Computers.
