I took the test. To my surprise, it recommended the distro that I am using.

I took both - English and Norwegian: different answers for each. Of course, I can't read Norwegian. :D

MEPIS

( http://www.mepis.org/ ) Failed these criterias:

# Does not have one-click installable applications
MEPIS Linux is a desktop Linux system that is also easy to configure as a dedicated server. It is designed for both personal and business purposes. It includes cutting-edge features such as a live/installation/recovery CD, automatic hardware configuration, NTFS partition resizing, ACPI power management, WiFi support, anti-aliased TrueType fonts, a personal firewall, KDE, and much more.

That's what was recommended to me. :D
