Actually, I think I found an error :- Isn't Mepis based on Ubuntu 
instead of Debian these days ? (ie From Wikipedia the entry for Mepis says

'The most popular of these distributions is SimplyMEPIS. MEPIS 
distributions are based on Debian, some of them indirectly (for example, 
SimplyMEPIS 6.x is based on Ubuntu, which is in turn based on Debian)'

Mind you quite a work though ! I started with Red hat 5.2, in approx 
1998. I still have the box set.
