   I'm using linux Mint.  It's like the inverse of Mepis.  I tried Mepis,
   but it was always way far behind the release of Ubuntu.  Mint keeps up
   and is based on Ubuntu.  Additionally, you can use the same
   repositories. Mint has been unbelievable in its support of wireless
   cards too (and other "non FOSS" HW) .  For instance, the use vendor
   driver application works great.
