antiX 23 releases

  The antiX project continues to grow and offer a variety of choices.

For the antiX 23 release, there are four distinct release choices:

1) antiX-full (c1.7GB) – 4 windows managers – IceWM (default), fluxbox, jwm and herbstluftwm plus full libreoffice suite. x64 versions come with 2 kernels. Legacy 5.10 and Modern 6.1.

2) antiX-base (c1GB) – 4 windows managers – IceWM (default), fluxbox, jwm and herbstluftwm.

3) antiX-core (c520MB) – no X, but should support most wireless.

4) antiX-net (c220MB)- no X. Just enough to get you connected (wired) and ready to build.

These four choices have iso files for sysVinit or runit.

They are also available for 32-bit or 64-bit systems, so there are a total of sixteen images available.

Known issues.

IMPORTANT IF INSTALLING GRUB TO UEFI/ESP

Before installing

sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade

This will update the gui and cli installers and bring in missing efivar and efibootmgr

Alternatively,

sudo apt update && sudo apt install efivar efibootmgr

antiX-23.1 will have this fixed

On antiX-base versions:

1. the browser may not open from the menu or toolbar/taskbar.

Fix: Open Control Centre > Preferred Applications > Web-browser > Select first SeaMonkey option > Apply

2. ps_mem.py tool doesn’t open

Fix: sudo apt install python-is-python3

Also, The default repos for antiX and Debian are reported to be extremely slow.

Use Repo-Manager in full versions or manually edit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/antix.list to a more reliable one.
