I've been running MEPIS v2004.03 on an old HP 600MHz laptop now for 
almost a month and am VERY impressed. It installed flawlessly, and all I 
had to do to watch commercial DVDs was to install the DVDCSS package. 
I've also got v2004.04 installed on an 800MHz HP laptop at work and am 
able to view our domain and our Citrix servers.

I'm very impressed with MEPIS, just wish the current release supported 
SMP. I also need to take the time to figure out how to install with two 
hard drives (root and home), as I like to have the OS on a smaller hard 
drive and the home folder on a large hard drive. I tried the partition 
software in the installer and created the proper partitions, but it 
refused to use the secondary drive for the home folders.
