Here are a few things that I would do if I wanted to create a respin of antiX 13.1 (or any version, for that matter), and I wanted it to be supported and supportable for a long time:

1. Set the Debian repo to the stable release. Right now the current stable release is"Wheezy". One approach is to set the Debian Repo names all to point to Wheezy. A *slightly* more risky way is to set them to"Stable". The risk is that when the stable release goes from Wheezy to Jessie in the future, there could be upgrade concerns; if you know how to deal with them, this isn't a big issue.

2. Use antiX Base to put your system together. Take out the software you do not want, update the repositories you have chosen, and perform a dist-upgrade to make sure that the packages you have installed are up to date.

3. Add the packages that you want to use.

4. Then take an inventory of what's on your system, document the packages with their version numbers, so that anyone interested will know precisely what is in your snapshot repo.

5. Finally, build images of what you have produced, and include a list of the packages you include in your system.

That's a high level overview of what to do, but it should provide the principles that you need.

a different kernel is not a problem to install, but what does that have to do with being user friendly, and steam?
Is there something in steam that doesn't work, or?

the debian testing repos have a vesion of steam. works great. steam is 32bit, so you will need to enable i386 architecture if you use the 64bit system as your base. You will also want the latest opengl packages from testing, as the wheezy/stable packages are old enough that even games like half-life 2 on steam needed the updated packages. also you may want more of the S3 texture compression libraries installed by default. for any libraries you install, you should install both the 64bit and 32bit versions if you are using the 64bit base system.
