Hi, using 'antix-13-beta_386-full.iso' with patch on a pendrive - fantastic os.

Question: now that antix-full is out, should I think about running a 'dist-upgrade' ?
I seem to remember reading that the two are very similar.

Any advice welcome, no great rush, perfectly happy as things are just now.

thanks

Are you running it live or installed to the pendrive?

A dist-upgrade shouldn't cause any issues and you should also install the latest kernel if your hardware supports it.

.

I have my 64bit installs set up with the rc1 patch so are you saying no need for a reinstall (final release) if

Code: Select all

apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
is current in rc1?

Basically yes roky. The biggest change was with the kernel for 32 bit versions. You should also uplrade the kernel to fix an exploit.

antix-13-RC1_386-full.iso with patch installed to pendrive via unetbootin - all good.
Running 'Linux 3.6.11-antix.1-486-smp (i686)' you guys move quick...
