Review antiX-M8.2 MEPIS

Overview:


The antiX install is really, really fast and quite easy. Mine finished in just a few minutes and I had no problems with it. I’d classify it as probably one of the fastest installs I’ve seen and probably one of the easiest.

What’s New In This Release
There’s quite a bit new in this release and here’s a sample of what you’ll find:

  • Increased localization, supports 10 languages right out of the box.
  • All MEPIS tools updated and adapted for antiX
  • MEPIS 2.6.27-25 kernel
  • Improved antiX-Control Centre, new scripts for screenshots, phonebook
  • Improved and extended themes and artwork for icewm and fluxbox
  • Much improved localisation
  • meta-installer to install kde4 (if wanted)
  • iceweasel 3.0.11 supporting 11 languages
  • X.org 7.4
  • Rox-filer 2.9
  • fluxbox 1.1.1
  • wicd 1.6.1

Requirements & Installation
antiXi is ideal for older computers and needs the following as a minimum requirement:

64MB old PII 266 systems with pre-configured 128MB RAM with 1.2GB hard disk size.

The antiX install is really, really fast and quite easy. Mine finished in just a few minutes and I had no problems with it. I’d classify it as probably one of the fastest installs I’ve seen and probably one of the easiest.

Here’s what you can expect to encounter during the installation:
