First, why do you cite sources that you call leftist? So, you condemn those you disagree with as leftists, but cite them when you think you can make yourself look better?
Second, are you so frustrated now that you're posting to the wrong person...not once, but twice? Third, you didn't even read the source...it says this is the FIRST Ubuntu based Mepis. This, of course, is because the previous Mepis releases were NOT Ubuntu based, which is exactly my point. Thanks. Okay, let's try again. I'll talk slowly this time.
Mepis is BASED on Ubuntu, in that it is compatible with Ubuntu because the OS's are similar.
Mepis is not DERIVED from Ubuntu, which is what you suggested when you offered your little "Russian spaceman then Ubuntu then Mepis" timeline. Your own link confirms that Mepis was not created from Ubuntu.
That idea is patently wrong, and you know it. I know, because I was USING Mepis before there was an Ubuntu. It didn't happen the way you said, and your intent by suggesting so was to deceive, yet again; you were trying to tie Mepis to Russian authorship, which is a lie. Not that it would matter much if you were successful, but nevertheless, you failed.
However, there WAS a Multics. It WAS created by a Russian (not that it matters). It WAS the major inspiration for UNIX, and Multics definitely came first. Deny as you might, facts are facts no matter what you think of them.
If your philosophy is consistent, you'll have a REAL problem with that.
If your "philosophy" changes with the weather to suit whatever point you happen to be arguing at the time, you'll dismiss it with another of your childish statements.
Knowing you as I do, I'm fully expecting the latter.
Complete lie, absolute and obvious absurdity, but of course you've proven this is all you're ever capable of, other than insults. The one good thing is, based on your handle you've already began your burning.
