I have Antix 13.2 installed with the stable repositories. Is it possible to upgrade to MX-14 or would I even want to?

MX-14 is a collaboration between the antiX community and the MEPIS community using some special Mepis programs with antiX. You can set up MX-14 as a separate distro if you don't mind doing a dual-boot.

I have my system setup with multiple partitions with various distros, but I keep MX-14 as my MAIN and use it to adapt the other distros into grub. (MX-14 uses Grub2 and not Legacy grub as antiX.)

It is on a really old computer that is already dual booting with XP. I will just keep 13.2 and keep it updated. Thanks for the clarification.

Go to Terminal and enter . Copy-and-paste the results here. This will give someone an idea of whether or not you can use MX-14.

If you use Synaptic and upgrade the applications, you will be with the newest.

And I think that if you add the MX repositories, you can get some of the MX-14 applications that will run in antiX 13.2.

Had to delete Antix 13.2 but got MX-14 installed. Both seem to bog down while using iceweasel. I suspect slow CPU or maybe incorrect video driver. I know nothing about trouble shooting drivers of any kind. I have other computers that are faster to do my real work on. I just keep the old boy around until it quits. Use it mainly for printing checks in XP but also like to have a linux distro and dual boot.

There are quicker browsers available that are still full featured. Opera and Qupzilla (1.84) work well, I know, and can be installed. If you want a super quick browser for doing stuff where you don't need fancy features, try installing Dillo.

On my older machine, antiX 13.2 is much much quicker than MX-14.2. A lot of the reason is XFCE I think, and the fact that the MX-14.2 desktop uses over double the memory than antiX 13.2 with IceWM. I'm thinking maybe you could install a newer version of Grub, also, to avoid the booting problems, but myself, I currently use Manjaro as the main boot on my machines, mostly for that same reason. I have sort of given up on that distro longer term though because it requires systemd, which really offends me.

I am not deep enough knowledge wise to have any idea about systemd. I read comments where people talk about it but have no idea what the problem is and what systemd does. I am also quite hung up using firefox and the lastpass addon. I have seen Qupzilla, Opera, and Dillo but change is hard for us old people. I suspect that much of my problem with the older system is the very old monitor. Again, I don't really use the older system that much. Thanks for the encouragement and info.

Being older, myself, and having taught older folks, I understand. Opera or Qupzilla won't take a lot of learning as compared to Firefox. Another possibility would be Seamonkey which is a lighter Firefox derivative.

Dillo is superfast, but is pretty different. I like it for popping up a manual or something, but not for browsing the web.
