For those interested in antiX and MX, two distributions that grew and evolved from the old MEPIS days - but not necessarily in SIZE - these distributions are- within the general bloat that we see across most applications, a pleasant move (about as far as they can go, given the upstream code inherited) toward modest size and efficiency, and they are also models of stability and usefulness.
Absolutely loving mx-17 amd64. b43 broadcom wireless works out of the box. I use the xfce(ish) desktop and the menu seems a bit like cinnamon desktop. Thunar right click file sharing is a blessing. mx is fast, easy on resources and breaths new life into an old Dell 1521 inspiron. I like it so much, I installed it to my quad core phenom2 asus board. The only thing missing is google-earth. can't get it to run properly, but it isn't a show-stopper. I have a tri-boot scenario going with win7, slackware64-current, and mx linux. Great Job guys an gals.. kudos to the developers
Distribution: Mainly Devuan, antiX, & Void, with Tiny Core, Fatdog, & BSD thrown in.

Rep:
I've been using AntiX for several years now, always been reliable, & I see no reason not to keep on using it, unless something drastic happens to Linux, then I have my back up plan - OpenBSD.
I use 32-bit AntiX-17 on oldboy upstairs (500 MB ram) and I've installed the 64-bit version on a friend's computer. No complaints from either of us. It's systemd-free too, for those who care about that sort of thing.
All snips are troubleshooting readouts for the pinxi team which are too numerous to meet the forum requirements text limitations in a thread. Hence the snips.
MX Linux is getting ready to release MX18 soon.
In a very short time, MX Linux has zoomed in popularity, and that's for a reason.
After KDE5 came out, I had to find something simplier and luckily ended up with MX16
with which I was highly impressed. It is so good I am sticking with it instead of
upgrading to MX17. However MX17 users seem just as impressed. This is a great XFCE
distro that is worth a try because it just keeps getting better due to the hard work
of some talented people.
