I have no idea. For those who have older hardware, antiX, though not the only choice available, is one of the most flexible options available for 32 or 64 bit systems using Intel-based hardware.
The proof that antiX is a good choice is that it also serves as the foundational piece from which MX (the MEPIS replacement) is built. Understand that both MX and antiX, of course, are what they are because of other efforts in the food chain above them. Debian packaging is certainly at the heart of the work. Warren Woodford's past efforts with MEPIS formed the original foundation for antiX, though much of that foundation has since been replaced by newer work. Historical efforts from Klaus Knopper (KNOPPIX) and individual works from many other projects - quite a few of which are freely cited on the antiX site - show that it is the free and open collaboration of software developers, writers, testers, architects, and users that make up this excellent work.
I wouldn't short out Ubuntu. I feel that the *buntu efforts have shown a lot in terms of ways to get more people trying out free software. It isn't the right tool for everyone, but it's an important part of the ecosystem, just as I feel strongly about MX, antiX, and Debian. Each of them has a useful role and each of them have a different "sweet spot" that appeals to a certain user base.
