Thats almost better than my mates new £600 Compaq laptop.

Mepis looked good but I've never downloaded it and tried it.
How do you add packages? apt-get? And what file is it I actually want? the website is awful for telling me. And whats the difference between SimplyMEPIS_3.4-3.iso and SimplyMEPIS-DVD_6.0-1_i386.iso?
