Not to hijack the thread or change topics, but post a link to your post in the hardware forum.

A known problem with mepis, oh well it was worth a shot.

From the website, I was very excited about it. It loads quickly and I'll probably take a few more stabs at it. I love new distros, and this one seems so cool.

Oh my. Is there a different forum for Kubuntu? I'd never looked. I did overwrite my drive with Kubuntu yesterday evening. I really do like it.

Does this mean I'm of the team coach?
