Hello everyone I've decided to come by and check out AntiX and it looks great! As I also use Aptosid thought I'd look at AntiX as a lighter alternative on my old Thinkpad T42.

Hi DeepDayze, glad to see you like the look of Antix!

Howdy, My IBM T23 and A22M flies on AntiX. T23=1gig ram. A22M=512MB of ram.

I can pretty much get my AntiX installs to do anything Aptosid can do (IMHO).

Welcome to antiX, DeepDayze.

Easy to sidify antiX if you wish.

I even booted the AntiX livecd off a USB stick on my AMD64 desktop and the IceWM desktop flies!

Also I own a T23 as well with 1GB RAM and a 60GB HD...that machine's taken quite a beating as it got exposed to flames in a house fire. Needed a new screen, lid and keyboard and then it came to life!

@Anti, I've seen you over on the sidux and Aptosid forums too
