'''MEPIS''' {{IPAc-en|ˈ|m|ɛ|p|ᵻ|s}} was a set of [[Linux]] distributions, distributed as [[Live CD|Live CDs or DVDs]] that could be installed onto a [[hard disk drive]]. MEPIS was started by Warren Woodford and '''MEPIS LLC'''.

The most popular MEPIS distribution was SimplyMEPIS, which was based primarily on [[Debian]] stable, with the last version of SimplyMEPIS being based on Debian 6. It could either be installed onto a hard drive or used as a [[Live DVD]], which made it externally bootable for troubleshooting and repairing many operating systems. It included the [[KDE]] desktop environment.
