antiX M-7, The Fat-free Mepis

,----[ Quote ]
| I would say that AntiX is highly recommended for those who have older 
| machines because of its dependable hardware detection and its light 
| footprint. While it did not perform as well as Xubuntu on my older laptop, I 
| still consider AntiX as a very promising distro that could easily beat any 
| lightweight distribution in the near future.

Great. What's the lightweight version of Leopard and Vistaster? You know, for
older PCs that need some more recent features...

| short little review about this Linux distro plus my flash video showing off

New AntiX distro makes older hardware usable

,----[ Quote ]
| I've been a fan of SimplyMEPIS for years. The distribution was one of the 
| early pioneers in the field of user-friendly Linux development, and to this 
| day offers a system that usually "just works." Earlier this month the MEPIS 
| site announced a community variation for older computers based on 
| SimplyMEPIS. AntiX is an installable live CD that features a modern kernel, 
| recent X server, and lighter applications for use on computers with as little 
| as 64MB RAM. I tried it, and liked what I found.
