Sidux would give just generic KDE/Debian on a live CD.  (Or Xfce, or
Fluxbox).  MEPIS adds MEPIS Network Assistant, MEPIS System Assistant,
MEPIS User Assistant, and MEPIS X-Windows [sic] Assistant, which are not
in generic KDE.

I can only guess that those four utilities are a large part of MEPIS's
alleged charms, i.e., the whole "Help, I don't know what I'm doing and
don't want to use vi or a command line" hapless-user thing.

Xandros was my main nod to those folks, throwing proprietary goo at
people to provide all manner of MS-Windows integration, etc.
