[Lancaster] Technical question

[john]

Something else you may want to consider doing, is updating the 
application repositories to UK. This is done in the Package Management 
section of the Mepis system centre. You can get to it from the system 
tray icon.

You can safely add debian and ubuntu repositories. Not sure exactly how, 
but I do know theyre compatible. Ther is a list of repositories on the 
Mepis website.

Cheers
