Having Mepis run so good, on so many systems, where PCLinuxOS would need
me to do the copy of xorg.conf, having also missed the repositories for
several months, and being back to Debian with Mepis, meaning that all
the Debian, Ubuntu, and Mepis repositories are available in Mepis, I am
not running PCLinuxOS now.

Well, let me elucidate.  When I hand out a livecdrom to a noob, we both
expect few problems. More repositories mean fewer troubles grabbing the
files, updates...
