I always have an ever changing version of antiX Core that I have tied to Debian Sid.
I generally also keep a copy of at least one other version of the current release or test version of antiX. Sometimes it is"Base", sometimes it is full. I've explicitly installed at least two, probably three or four, of the test versions for Version 13. In between I run updates.
I do need to either run some updates (or if we need any more new testing in the installer, to grab the latest test image). Generally speaking, though, I get good long term test coverage of all three variations, Core, Base, and Full.

I usually use the latest release and i always use the full installation.
I mainly use it as a liveCD, though. (Well: my main work PC once was antiX, but i think it is debianized. It is upgraded to Sid and i run it for more than a few months now).
I liked 8.5 a lot (Ok: it was the first one i used, it was quite small (software related) and i liked the look and feel. Perhaps i rememeber it wrong, but i kept it for much longer than it was the actual one. So i am sure that i liked it).

I currently have antiX Core, built a few years ago, and based on Debian Sid, as one of my regular instances, and I keep an ongoing release of antiX, alternating between Base and Full, as my other release; that one was tracking antiX 13, and now has the Base version of the released software.

just 13, right now...
It seems like I try full first, then mess it up, and install base, and use that.

Currently I have AntiX M11 installed on a Thinkpad T42 and as the HD is dying I'm going to replace drive and install M13

Several machines are now on 13.1 base. Have tried 13.2 full, but I prefer a more lightweight distro with a *box WM. One machine has had a kernel upgrade to 13-7-10, which is working perfectly.
I also did a remaster of both, 13.1 base & 13.2 full, for the experience, but am now using my remastered live 13.1; base plus Gthumb, PySolFC-2.0, python-tk & some music files added (approx 3Gb in size), as my installation media.

I use antix 13.2 full edition (stable) as my main system. I've got a xfce (4. __{{emoticon}}__ version built from core installed on my netbook at the moment. The netbook's hardware all work with the gnu (free) kernel, so I haven't had any firmware problems (although I haven't tried the webcam). The sony still has 13 installed, but not updated. I don't use that machine much.

after 13.5 mini was sort of released, I have used that, with jwm replaced by the debian dwm...
It does what I need

I'm using my own theme antiX-music. It's based on antiX-13-Luddite full.

I've got antiX 13.2 Fuil, 32-bit Testing, running on both my Athlon XP 2000+ and my Pentium II Mobile 300 MHz laptop. It makes that laptop a reasonably usable machine (enough so that I've ordered a battery for it, on top of the redneck SSD, wifi PC card, and USB sound dongle; I'll be toting it before the new year, and have only about $100 over four months into putting it back in service).

Should I mention MX-14 here (?), I have it on an old Advent dual core 12"TFT laptop & a 10"TFT Novatech N1 netbook.
(Other machines still on 13.1/13.2.)
