MEPIS 7.0 now testing on Laptop

I am now testing MEPIS 7.0 on my laptop. I have Mandriva 2008 (the POWERPACK edition) installed on the Gateway machine. So far, MEPIS 7.0 is living up to snuff. Both Mandriva and MEPIS can be configured to use the RT73-based wi-fi adapter without the use of NetworkManager, which is a good thing, as NetworkManager currently does not support the RT73 driver.

Mandriva and MEPIS both can be configured with the common multimedia protocols, both can run Acrobat Reader and Real Player, and both distributions are suitable for home use and are excellent Vista replacements.

Now, let us see if MEPIS 7.0 will run on the Gateway machine.
