This started as antiX-base running frugal on a partition.
I installed LibreOffice and xfce using the meta-installer.
I also installe mplayer and moc for video/audio respectively.
I then ran the frugal script, rebooted, at grub menu used desktop=xfce cheatcode and booted into a very lean and mean antiX-xfce desktop.
I then decided to run the installer, and within 5 minutes, I had an antiX-xfce install on a partition.

Here is the screenshot.
Note the RAM use.

anti?
Does this mean that there will possibly be an antiX version with XFCE / LXDE allong with the FLUXBOX / ICEWM version in the future?

That's great, anti! I installed Xfce and LXDE, using the very first antiX core, not quite a year ago, and I have been very happy with them. The way I have it currently set up, Xfce uses a little more memory that LXDE, but when I first started out with a very spartan Xfce desktop, I was amazed to find that Xfce used less memory and was faster than LXDE, and both of them were quite snappy. Since my initial setup was quite spartan, it even gave the Fluxbox and IceWM setups a good run for the money, not taking up much more system resources, other than disk space, than either of them.

Thanks for showing us your setup.
