Present released version: antiX-M7.5 Toussaint Louverture For those who wish to have control over the install, use antiX-base.

antiX-Spartacus should.Īt the moment antiX comes as a full distro (less than 400MB) and as a base distro (c200MB). antiX can also be used as a fast-booting rescue cd.ĪntiX-M7 will not run (yet) on older processors such as Pentium I (it seems that PII is ok, but PII MMX may not boot), AMD K5, and AMD K6 as it uses an up to date i686 kernel. It should run on most computers, ranging from 64MB old PII 266 systems with pre-configured 128MB RAM to the latest powerful boxes. So don't throw away that old computer yet! The goal of antiX is to provide a light, but fully functional and flexible free operating system for both newcomers and experienced users of Linux. antiX offers users the 'Magic of Mepis' in an environment suitable for old computers. Any suggestions, or should I just stick with Mepis? It's a nice distro, but this old Armada e500 laptop is a bit slow.ĪntiX is a fast, lightweight and easy to install linux live CD distribution based on MEPIS for Intel-AMD x86 compatible systems. What I really was trying to do, though, was install a lightweight xfce/debian distro from scratch. My solution has been to install Simply Mepis with KDE, then use synaptic to install xfce. I've already found out that the debian etch and lenny xfce installation CDs can't get this wireless adapter working. This is great if you have a working network interface, but let's suppose I'm starting with an old laptop and a 802.11g wireless pcmcia adapter with the atheros chipset. The guide will also suggest a list of applications to install in addition to Xfce, to make it a fully functional desktop install. It will also show you how to tweak the Xfce install to become a 'perfect' desktop environment. This guide will show you how to install the Xfce desktop environment on Debian (Etch) without getting GNOME in the process.
