I ordered antiX 17 Full from OSDisc, but I couldn’t wait, so I just downloaded antiX 17 Base and I’m gonna put it on a USB and give it a spin and maybe install it. As always, I fully expect this distribution to install cleanly, and even if there are defects in any of the software (some of which we inherit from the source), I think you will find that this collection is smartly conceived, well engineered, thoughtfully put together, and depending what specific utilities, tools, and applications you choose to run, it can be quite nimble and fast.

It’s getting more and more difficult to create a system that can run on recent equipment and also run on older equipment. If your hardware doesn’t work right with 17, we’ve had pretty good luck getting stuff to work with 13.2 and 15, two of the most flexible releases we’ve done. You’ll have to carefully update your system if you have to use one of the older versions; 17 is pretty current, and it’s a great blend of light but still very functional software. I’ll have my hands on the final result shortly – it finished downloading and I’m going to give it a try.

Root password (not sudo) is root.

Indeed it is!
Karen (and Richb) helped us out a lot.
We really do appreciate it.
