Hey folks, Don from Iowa turned my head to antix (although I'd been using Mepis for awhile) and I'm currently trying to revive an old machine at work as a web workstation with it. So far I've had zero luck but when you're scraping the bottom of the barrel for hardware you keep trying.

I work as a trainer for a company that makes the things that make tv. Think kidnergarden teacher with much more expensive toys and thats about right. I'd like to think I mold technicians and make sure tv stations around the world stay on track but....

I've been on the Linux wagon for about 2 years now when a spyware attack finally forced my hand. I do keep a Windows machine around for video editing and of course I use Windows at work but you sacrifice where you have to...

Welcome. Glad you made the trip. You will find that antiX is the W123 of the Linux world.

Welcome to antiX curtludwig.

Hopefully we can get you running antiX on that old box, but if we can't you're welcome to hang out here anyway.

Ahh, even if it doesn't work on this old piece of junk it'll probably find a life on my laptop (1.8Ghz, 1GB RAM). I've got Ubuntu on it now and haven't been entirely satisfied. Although I did finally get it to play Windows media (lots of work in the terminal to pull that off).
