I don't really do"reviews" very well, but when I find something worthy of a rare post to my blog, It's not a"review" of AntiX, but a look at the near future of Linux and the role I think AntiX could play in it, especially with support for WindowsXP ending soon and the popular distros being too much for the"big popular distros."

Someone in another forum suggests,"just use Plop Linux to boot my Big Fat Distro from a USB."

Aw, c'mon now. Do you really seriously think that newbies, coming from WindowsXP, are going to even know how to do that? The Big Popular Distros are leaving out millions of XP users with older hardware, and AntiX can fill that need easily if enough people know about it.

Nice Blog and write up. I seem to remember a kid with your logo and name on another forum a while back, but maybe that is not you.

Howdy and Welcome though from this Texas Biker.

I've been told on other forums about a kid named Robin ("dixie dancer" and"Xububoy" or some other forum name like that) who was very articulate for a kid. I also read that he died a couple of years ago at age 18.

That's not me of course. I'm 55 years old, retired from the fire department and working at a third career just to keep busy. Perhaps in most places there just aren't many males named Robin (where I'm from it's considered a masculine name), so when one appears I guess it's natural to associate them with one another.

I'm not"dixie dancer" but from what I have read, it sounds like he was a kindred spirit and it would have been nice to have known him.

Good blog Robin.

I must add that the idea of Steve Gibson gnashing his teeth really appeals to me. Hey, he's been gnashing them for many years now and yet continues using Windoze. He must be a glutton for punishment. ROFL
