====================================
and based on the new antiX Linux M11. There are two plain vanilla editions (Diet Swift Linux and Regular Swift Linux) are four special editions (Taylor Swift Linux, iCarly Swift Linux, Magnum P.I. Swift Linux, and NASCAR Swift Linux).

Swift Linux is lightweight, fully compatible with the large Debian software repository, and user-friendly. No other distro can compete with Swift Linux on all three of these criteria. If you wish that Puppy Linux had a large software repository, or if you wish that Linux Mint could be as lightweight as Puppy Linux, then this is the distro for you.

Swift Linux gives that old computer a new lease on life! Windows XP support ends on April 8, 2014. Instead of spending hundreds of dollars on a new computer or slowing down your old computer with a costly and bloated"upgrade", make the REAL UPGRADE to Swift Linux.

P.S. Swift Linux NEEDS more developers! The version control system is GitHub (

), and the bug/goal tracker is Launchpad.net (

). Developers who have worked on any of the following distros are especially appreciated:
Linux Mint (very successful track record and user-friendly)
Puppy Linux (very lightweight and user-friendly)
antiX Linux (parent distro of Swift Linux)

This is a really nice derivative of antiX. Jason Hsu, its developer, is to be commended for his fine work - and his choice of antiX as his starting point! If you haven't tried this one out, either burn a CD/DVD or run it in a virtual instance. Whether it's your style or not, I think you will be able to agree that Jason did a good job with this. He has a sense of fun and adventure with those cute derivatives, too.

Thanks for your work, Jason, and of course, none of it would be possible without the work of Paul (anticapitalista), Warren Woodford, the one behind a great deal of the configuration software, and of course the Debian and Linux upstream developers who created all of the applications, system utilities, and the kernel itself.
