I haven't been using Antix for awhile now but the vintage version of puppy I run on this older laptop is getting well......vintage.
I was thinking about how well Antix would do on it. Its an IBM A20P with 265 mb ram and a P3 700mhz processor and the screen uses 1400x1050 resolution. I am willing to wipe the drive and install antix but not sure if I should go with the full or base version of M11 testing?
Is the testing M11 stable enough for everyday use? Or...should I look into an older version like 8.0-8-5?
Also, I would be most interested in the base version....what is included in the base of M11 testing? I am really only after the very basics.....a light wm, light browser yet fully rendering, simple office program etc...
Thanks for the assistance.

, though I think these are from 8.5 . It is a bit different, but I think it should give you what you need / are looking for

I run Full Iso On about the same specs on a IBM A22m with 256mb of ram with Puppy 5.2 also on 20gig hardrive. Puppy 4 gig partition. Antix root"/" 6 gig partition. /home 9.3gig partiton. The rest is /swap partition.
AntiX 11 uses the same Kernel as 8.5 so might as well use 11. If making a seperate /home partition. Reinstall of AntiX 11 is painless and takes just a few minutes.
screenshots of some of my EEEPC and Flash drive installs are links in the AntiX wiki. At least you can see what the install process looks like.
