Antix is my second fav distro.
I had it for a couple of years on 2-3 old notebook, and it works very good.
Did someone give a spin to Antix 23?
What´s the difference between SysVinit and runit versions, and wich one is better for old hardware? ( Sorry if it is a stupid question ).

Yes, I tried Antix some months ago. Not sure the version. It was even lighter than Bodhi in MEM consumption but it is related to its WM. Which one do you use? I tried IceWM. Anyway I like Moksha much more.

I have it multibooted on my spare laptop. The version is antix23 and I have trimmed it down to just the icewm for my uses. It is, as stated above, very light on resources and I have had no issues with it so far.

What´s the difference between SysVinit and runit versions, and wich one is better for old hardware? ( Sorry if it is a stupid question ). I tried both versions, but with AntiX 22, not version 23, both inits boots the system fine, the only differences is that the runit version lacked a lot of software packages that the SysVinit had and that some services could not start with runit, don't know if they fixed that and if they added more packages to the repos on the current 23 version with runit. |
