i have discovered that i like x86 better than x86-64 cause i can easily run some older 32bit programs, but it doesent have pae.
how can i enable pae on antix15, also what does pae really mean, i read alot about it, and from what i understand, it can see more than 4gb of ram but limits every program to 4gb? is this true?

and i also dont like systemd, and i think is nice antix sticks to sysVinit

but the question is, how is all this going to fit in the future with debian already moved to systemd and even some software depen ding on it (nginx i think)

also, some stuff is already x64 only (unvanquished)

can antix still manage to be released and work with sysVinit and x86 only with more and more applications and distros moving to systemd and x64?

Well first of all Eudev instead of udev in 15.1Alpha - a pretty good indication of sound plan to stay Systemd free. So I think you'll find sysVinit is here for awhile yet. __{{emoticon}}__

I run pae on 32 bit just fine and dandy in AntiX 15 on 8 gig of ram on a UEFI bios laptop.

One of the above links show how I search for kernel upgrades also in terminal.
Though 3.16 pae is my backup kernel. I run the 4.2.1 pae as a daily runner on that laptop.\

the mx-14/15 variant of antiX runs pae kernels, and you can always install the default debian kernels. as to x64, as machines get older, support does get lost. The last 32 bit-only machine I bought was a eeepc904ha that I still use with antiX as a poor-man's sonos. its so underpowered that netflix support is a non-issue for it anymore whether google keeps 32 bit chrome support or not.

but take a look at steam and realize how many games are actually still 32 bit in 64bit wrappers, and I think you'll see that architecture isn't quite done yet.

so wich is the pae kernel, how to install

Look in synaptic and install through synaptic.
