Conclusion

All things considered, the time I've spent with antiX has been enjoyable. Aside from speed, I was impressed by the system's stability. I experienced no crashes, and never encountered anything I would call a bug. Doing the necessary tweaks wasn't a big deal for an experienced Linux geek. However, I admit that a newbie might find this intimidating. I can live with the fact that inserting a USB gizmo doesn't pop-up a pretty file manager. Unfortunately, my biggest complaint - the unresolved microphone issue - could be fatal. I await a solution for this - otherwise, I may have to look elsewhere if I want to bring my ancient Eee PC 701 back from the dead.

Rok knows the fix. At least for a 900. I haven't booted my 701SD in a while. Too busy with Christmas, (My mom may make a surprise visit)

Edit: He made me curious since I could not remember if I had ever checked my mic. If his chip is the same as mine.

Audio:     Card: Intel 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) High Definition Audio Controller driver: HDA Intel
           Sound: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture ver: 1.0.23
No pulse audio is needed. Alsa handles it just fine with the right alsamixer adjustments. No special config needed like I did on my 900. Maybe he turned off mic in bios or disabled it via a hot key is all I can guess.

Mhwavedit test. Loud and clear mike on EEEPC 701SD.

If that review is by paraquat. This test was done on my internal mic on my eeepc 701, I guess I should also mention my kernel is.

~$ uname -r
2.6.38-3.dmz.1-liquorix-686
Which I installed via smxi.
