We are pleased to offer MX-18.1 Official Releases iso for your use.

MX-18.1 is a refresh of our MX-18 release, consisting of bugfixes and application updates since our original release of MX-18.
Note: Existing users do not need to reinstall. All bugfixes and additions will come through the regular update channel.

Updated packages

The latest updates from Debian 9.7 (stretch), antiX and MX repos.

Firefox 65.0
vlc 3.0.6

and many more


New and updated mx-apps


mx-installer (based on gazelle-installer) received fixes to address crashes during grub install
mx-repo-manager now lists many many more repository mirrors (thanks aledie)
misc. bug fixes and improvements to MX-PackageInstaller & MX-Conky

The MX Manual

Updated mx-manual with revised sections, screenshots, etc...

The antiX live-USB system

All the antiX live-USB features, including persistence (up to 20GB!) and remaster.
Significant improvement to the UEFI boot capabilities of the live system, especially for 64 bit UEFI systems.
(For 32 bit UEFI, users might need to make a "full-featured" live-USB with our tool for the best chance of booting.)

Special thanks to fehlix & BitJam for integrating the new UEFI boot features into our build system.


Improved localization


Thanks to Old Giza and the Translation team, almost all mx-apps received translation refreshes (we love translators!)
