The antiX 23 distribution was originally planned to be released in August. The primary developer, anticapitalista works in education, and the months of August and September have been particularly busy for him personally, and there were also a few issues that he wanted to resolve before prematurely releasing antiX 23. The antiX 23 release took place on August 26.
The "relative", MX Linux, had also experienced difficulties with the boot loader configuration, but their development...
I have not posted to the blog here, from what the entries indicate, in over SIX years.

Here with antiX M8.2 Test 1, running live. Let me tell you why I like antiX so much as a Live CD.
1. Loads, even to RAM, in under two minutes, faster than that to run straight from CD.
2. Recognizes, even on CD, just about any wireless network card you can throw at it.
3. Has a good selection of software, and given that you can run it live, from USB, or install it to disk from the CD, it is easy to install or just use as is (as I am doing right now....
