May I remind you that this is a list for 'discussion among debian users'?
I've never used mepis myself, but I can assure you that those will work
fine and straight out of the box with debians 'debian-multimedia.org'
and 'non-free' repositories. The main difference seems to be that debian
gives you the comfort of '100% free software' _and_ the choice to
install 'non-free' software as required.
There are certainly distributions that appear more ready and easy to use
for newbies, but IMHO and experience, debian's stability, upgrade
ability, amount of software packaged and overall quality will pay off in
the medium to long run.
YMMV. Just my 2ct.
Cheers,
Johannes
