antiX is a Linux distribution built directly on Debian Stable.[1] It is comparatively lightweight and suitable for older computers, while also providing cutting edge kernel and applications, as well as updates and additions via the apt-get package system and Debian-compatible repositories.[2]

System Requirements

  • Preferred: 256 MB of RAM and 1 GB of hard drive space.
  • Minimum: 128 MB of RAM and 1 GB of hard drive space.
  • Installation: 2.7 GB of hard drive space.

Besides the standard LIVE release, other versions of antiX are available (base and core), allowing installations with even lower amounts of RAM, hard drive space, overall hardware limitations.

Versions

antiX, Version 15, "Killah P", in use on a Tatung TWN-5213 CU.

antiX is available for both 32 and 64 bit architectures, and comes in 3 versions:

  • Full, which installs a full range of applications
  • Base, which allows the user to choose their own application suite.
  • Core-libre, which enables the user to have total control over the install

These three versions are joined by antiX MX, also known as "MX Linux",[3] developed in cooperation with the MEPIS Community. It uses Xfce as the default desktop environment, is based directly on Debian Wheezy, is highly stable and gives solid performance from a medium-sized footprint.[4]

Release history

antiX is a Linux distribution, originally based on MEPIS, which itself is based on the Debian stable distribution. It initially replaced the MEPIS KDE desktop environment with the Fluxbox and IceWM window managers, making it suitable for older, less powerful x86-based systems. Unlike Debian, antiX is "proudly systemd-free".[this quote needs a citation] systemd does not support old and real hardware very well due to its over-complexity and virtualization-based development.
