Alright, for those who hung around, time for the portion you probably expecting on page 1. Why in the world would Warren remove the libraries from Mepis? According to the Mepis.org Docs section, it's due to licensing issues. I'm just going to stay out of the firefight on MP3 support. I'd rather everyone move to .ogg anyways, but that's just me.
