antiX-16 articles and reviews

[BitJam]

In addition to this article linked to by namida12: antiX 16 "Berta Cáceres" Linux OS Arrives Without systemd, Based on Debian 8.5 ...

I just saw this article in Spanish: antiX 16 “Berta Cáceres”, nueva versión que bootea en menos de 10 segundos which translates to "antiX 16 "Berta Caceres" new version that boots in under 10 seconds".

hello BitJam and hello everyone
W.Klew sure says nice things about antiX16 but he needs a new picture/ screenshot of the new system. i'm not a member of those comment systems offered, maybe someone (who can) ,,, use this perfect excuse to comment a link to antix.mepispuntorg/...=Spanish below the article about newly/ only just available screenshots of the recent antiX. ?

This pretty much sums up the entire internet.

Slightly positive overall.
There are several notes concerning not using systemd.
One mention of not being long term (when is stretch coming?).

Is it available with the Xfce desktop?

the generic Debian xfce can be added, and you could add the MX customizations with some extra effort.

Is it available with the Xfce desktop?

Yes. It is incredibly easy:

• Control Centre --> System Tab --> Meta Package Installer (it will ask for your USER password)
• Check the box next to "xfce4" under Window Manager. Click install button.
• When the install is done, right-click on the desktop then select: Desktop --> Other Desktops --> Xfce

That's it. You don't even need to log out of X windows!

However, If you are primarily interested in xcfe the I suggest you use MX. It starts with the antiX chassis but has been tweaked and customized around xfce. If nothing else, you will get much better xfce support with MX.

Thanks. I am using MX-15 I was just curious. So far so good except for that Pidgin doesn't work anymore with Yahoo Instant Messenger.
