eriefisher, are those sidux kernels that you are using with antiX M7.5, or are you actually running a version of sidux? Personally, I have a wealth of them all. I have SimplyMEPIS 6.0, 7.0, had 6.5, but I think I put one of the antiX releases over it. I have multiple instances of antiX on multiple boxes, with a 7.1 or 7.2 instance that gets updated - so for all intents and purposes, it is current, then I have versions that have been explicitly installed in either current release form or test version form, updated to current release form.

I use sidux, antiX, and SimplyMEPIS as my every day systems - sidux for the cutting edge desktop, antiX for fast desktop, quick Live CD use and rescue CD use, SimplyMEPIS for a stable desktop system, in case I ever do toast these other systems.

On top of all of that, I have several test instances of various versions of Ubuntu, including Kubuntu 8.10 Alpha 6. I also have Mandriva 2009 Beta 2, just updated last night, so for all intents and purposes, it is either Mandriva 2009 now or very close to it.
I also have a few of those proprietary OS desktop systems around including XP and Vista. I use XP about three times a week to access Front Page XP, but I use Vista very little, mostly just to see how it works.

Very flexible home test lab; now have two older desktop systems available (with more in my basement scrap pile) and three solid laptop systems - one purchased new this spring, another one purchased used, but even more powerful than the new one, so a pretty current vintage. Don't have any terabyte disks, but collectively I have at least 1/2 Terabyte available to me across those systems, so I can, if I want, have between twenty and thirty system instances across those systems.

It's antix pushed to sid/sidux and using only sidux kernels. So I guess it's really sidux now. I install the new kernels as they become available. I keep two and discard the oldest. I also dropped the mepis kernel, I saw no reason to keep it. It is considered old now anyway.

This is my laptop with Antix. I just install sidux/xfce on an old PII I have. It will be for my helper if I ever finish setting it up. I would like to install sidux on my desktop and give it a real spin though.

I ran *buntu from Hoary up to Feisty. Mostly Kubuntu. Dapper was the best of the bunch IMHO. After a network upgrade after hardy was released my install went for a crap. Not the first time this happened on a network upgrade. I just got tired of having to fix everything every time there was an upgrade. I didn't find it very stable for such a popular release.

That's a lot of equipment. You wouldn't happen to have a couple of PC100-128mb memory sticks kicking around would you? I fried one stick in one box and would like to upgrade another. The best I can find is 64mb and I have a couple of those.

Memory sticks and spare parts are things I don't have much of. I do have some really old pieces of equipment in my basement, but now that I have some decent equipment, I may not need them any more. They are all ten years or more old, and have been picked apart quite a bit already.

If you are still looking for 128Mb RAM, I have a couple of sticks that you are welcome to. Not sure where you live though - I am in the UK.

Ha, just found out that you are in Canada, probably not worth sending there.......
