antiX-16.1 (Berta Cáceres) released

Bug fix version including all updates from Debian Jessie and scurity patched kernels.

Existing users of antiX-16 do not need to download and install. Simply update via the repositories.

So what is new.

Not a lot! BUT we have included 2 excellent applications: live-kernel-updater and live-usb-maker.

Debian 8.7 (jessie), but systemd-free! And it fits on a cd! Great LiveUSB features!

As usual antiX comes in 3 flavours for both 32 and 64 bit processors.

antiX-full (c695MB) -4 windows managers - IceWM(default), fluxbox, jwm and herbstluftwm

antiX-base (c510MB) -3 windows managers - fluxbox(default), jwm and herbstluftwm

antiX-core-libre (c190MB) - no X. Just enough to get you connected (wired) and ready to build. Uses a libre kernel.

antiX has been designed to be fast, light on resources and flexible.

Install it to harddrive, run it live from a stick or run as a frugal install on a partition.

For more detailed information, see release notes for antiX-16.

Are these 2 applications going to be included in an upgrade? They are present in a fresh install but my antiX-16 install doesn't have them after a dist-upgrade.

I don't think they will come down in a regular upgrade. Install these 2 packages in synaptic and you should get what you need

1. live-usb-maker-gui (which will also bring in live-usb-maker the cli version)
2. live-kernel-updater

both depend on cli-shell-utils, which I think IS installed already, but in any case will come down as a dependency if you install either of the new live-* apps.

This is the route I ended up using yesterday.

The torrents don't appear to be updated to 16.1. Will/should they be?

Not updated yet, lack of time and person-power : )

Thank you; I torrent all six, and will update when available.

Many thanks!

Torrents now available - thanks to chrispop99

For those that like stats, I thought I would let users know how antiX-16.1 downloads are going.

According to SF, about 9,000 downloads since release (17 Jan.) of which 6,456 are 64 bit! A surprise there.
No idea about downloads from mirrors (thanks to the devs for setting it up).
Not much activity via torrents since they were very recently uploaded (thanks chrispop99)

Off to a good start here:
