MEPIS LLC has begun shipping SimplyMEPIS 2004.02. This revised version was produced in time to meet a deadline of Planete Linux magazine. It is the first version of SimplyMEPIS to include international support for British, French, German, Italian, and Spanish.

The SimplyMEPIS 2004.02 CD contains 3 new themes released by the MEPIS Beautification Project. It adds support for the nForce2 250GB LAN chip and g++ is preinstalled. The meauto hardware database has been updated. The latest version of the simplymepis package fixes a problem that prevented the MEPIS pool from taking precedence over the Debian pool.
