There's a new version of MEPISLite out. It is called AntiX. It is based on SimplyMEPIS 6.5 and is designed to work on older boxes with low ram. It comes with fluxbox and doesn't come with kde. It has the MEPIS installer as well as some other MEPIS goodies. It is the fastest MEPIS I have ever used since 2004. I am posting from it right now. Installed to hard drive and chainloaded with grub. I was toying with the new PclinuxOs and the new sidux but I like antiX better. It's waay faster than any other distro. Not an idle claim, fact. Test it yourself or read about it at distrowatch. I wouldn't use PclinuxOs from the super slow way that synaptic loads up. Thumbs down. Other than the slow synaptic PclinuxOs is the next best thing to MEPIS. Looks and feels a lot like MEPIS. I would probably be a diehard PclinuxOs supporter if there was no MEPIS. Thank god for MEPIS. And antiX.

I agree, as long as you use linux, you're a winner.
Jump to Postthat comment is likely to upset the BSD and Hurd crowd....
Jump to Postall the bsd's, (freeBSD, openBSD, netBSD) are hard to configure, confusing and hard to configure.
Jump to Postmmmm i dislike freebsds installer. Its like slackwares (which i hate! debian installer all the way!) in that you have to go back to go forward.
I like PC-BSD but its kinda noobish. They have PBIs which are like windows .MSIs
Jump to Postremember, it's not all about linux, t's about freedom, choice and opensource ;)
the term we use is *NIX
this means unx LIKE and includes Linux, *BSD (F, O, N etc) and anyone else who decides to release their code!
