I need some help with this. Help me find something wrong.

__{{emoticon}}__

__{{emoticon}}__ It is a nice distro, folks. It really is. It was installed yesterday on this Toshiba A205
Satellite laptop with its horrid Realtek rtl8187b network adapter (which was detected immediately
by antiX and has not lost the connection at all, sits at about 98% most of the time and 100%
often), Intel 960 graphics, core duo 1.65 processors, etc.

I held my breath after the first upgrade via synaptic, but it went through fine.. then I installed
Gnome (sorry folks, I do love Gnome) and it is working great and configurable as always.

Nice job Mepis/antiX developers! I believe antiX has found a home on this machine. __{{emoticon}}__

Welcome! Glad you are enjoying antiX!

Not sure about the Gnome part....you must be looking really hard for a way to break antiX __{{emoticon}}__

Thank you for the welcome.

About my Gnome choice, well, this laptop has the resources for it, and it has been my favorite
wm (was glad to discover it years ago when I first came to linux). It runs nice and fast, looks good,
since I went into /etc/X11/xorg.conf and put"24" where all the"16"s were in display resolution.

I'd like to donate to the antiX project specifically, not Mepis in general if I don't have to. Is that
possible? If not I'll just send the money to Mepis, that's fine.

anti was going to set up a donation page on the wiki but I don't know if it was completed. His intention was to forward the money to h2 to support his work with smxi/sgfxi which has been a great thing for antix, Mepis and sidux.

That looks great. I went in and saw the links.. time to get some money headed their way.

I should say that I also like XFCE very much, and also Fluxbox. But the configurability issues in
Fluxbox still irk me. XFCE is a close second to Gnome even though XFCE really beats Gnome
in the speed department.

AntiX is not just a slimmed down distro, I see now that it's been running a while here. Even before
I went ahead and installed Gnome I could see that antiX is a very well thought out operating
system; it's big brother, Mepis is obviously the template. __{{emoticon}}__

Thank you anticapitalista (great name!).

It sure is nice to have a smooth runner on this quirky Walmart laptop. __{{emoticon}}__
