Los Angeles, California, July 26, 2011- Colocation America, a leading West Coast data center operator, has recently donated a dedicated server to Mepis.org for their SimplyMEPIS ftp site.  The decision to offer the dedicated server to Mepis was based upon Colocation America's commitment to promoting Linux operating systems and open source platforms.
