MX Linux Forum

I daresay that the Debian mothership is the probably the most influential given the cloud of distributions that it has spawned - antiX, MX, Ubuntu, Mint, Knoppix, SteamOS, ElementaryOS, Raspbian , and dozens more. The fact that Google is now letting newer Chromebooks install packages from debian st...

Yes, see if mx-installer gets updated, if not, you could download it manually from the link I posted before.

I will probably updated the ISO only on Feb 15, you can update the deb right now with a minimum download. It would help us if you'd test it...

MX-15/16 will never upgrade to MX-17, they were based on Jessie, MX-17/18 are based on Stretch. You should still do updates, we build most of mx apps for MX15/16 too, otherwise you'd not get bug fixes or new features.
