| Introducing SphinxOS -- SimplyMEPIS for German-speakers |
Nov. 30, 2004
MEPIS has partnered with Smartthink to produce SphinxOS 4.0, an OEM boxed version of SimplyMEPIS customized for the German speaking market. Many of the improvements contained in SphinxOS 4.0 will be included in ProMEPIS 2005, due in January, and SimplyMEPIS 2005, due in March, the companies say.
SphinxOS is a branded variation of SimplyMEPIS, so it shares the MEPIS foundation. Furthermore, improvements to MEPIS will also be available to SphinxOS users via the free MEPIS and Debian global package pools, MEPIS says.
MEPIS founder Warren Woodford commented, "It's been a pleasure working with Gerry Starrermeyr and Ko Bros at Smartthink during the development of SphinxOS. They have a clear vision and commitment. I'm confident that they will do whatever it takes to insure that SphinxOS users are happy with their choice."
SphinxOS is a complete desktop MEPIS Linux that features the KDE desktop, OpenOffice, Firefox, GIMP2, Xine, and many other applications to give German-speaking home, SOHO (small office / home office), and business desktop users everything they need to quickly become productive in the SphinxOS desktop environment.
