Summary: MEPIS is listing Novell's Mono among non-Free software, as it probably ought to
MEPIS is a popular GNU/Linux distribution which is built on top of KDE. The KDE 3.5-based build of SimplyMEPIS 8.0.15 is said to
include Mono, but this is not correct (Distrolove is inaccurate).
Warren Woodford has announced the release of SimplyMEPIS8.0.15, a new update of the beginner-friendly distribution based on Debian's stable branch.
What's New in SimplyMEPIS 8.0.15 :
> Devian 5
> 2.6.27 Linux kernel
> OpenOffice.org 3.1.1
> Firefox 3.5.6
> BIND 9.6.1-P2
> Skype 2.1.0.47
> Mono 2.4.2.3
> you can play any audio/video files.
Having taken a look at the
official press release,
Mono seems like just an addon, which is advertised alongside the proprietary Skype.
