Besides the fact that antiX 16.1 comes with all 173 bug fixes and security patches implemented by the Debian Project in the new Debian GNU/Linux 8.7 "Jessie" release, but without the systemd init system, the distribution is using the long-term supported Linux 4.4.10 kernel customized with a fbcondecor splash.
Additionally, the new antiX version includes two applications, namely live-usb-maker and live-kernel-updater, which allow users to create a Live USB disk of antiX that you can use to run the operating system without having to install it on your personal computer, and update the kernel without the need to reboot the PC.
Meh, I'll stick with Calculate Linux for now.

I feel dirtier and dirtier every time I realize I'm part of a "we" in your "us" vs. "them" world.
I will keep telling myself, "It's just code. This is free software working correctly. Even pedophiles and people who idolize the Antebellum South must have the freedom to use it in order for it to be free. The code must not be political."

Foreword: This is from an American perspective, insert appropriate political groups or ideologies to fit your region.
Just like Democrats and Republicans have been for quite a while.
Yes there is 'us vs them', but it has always been split amongst dozens or hundreds of issues, spanning multiple separate ideological groups per person.
Lots of Ds and Rs are into open source, just like lots of Ds and Rs are into BDSM (and plenty on both sides aren't, with vehement reasons why not!) The point being you pick up banners according to the CURRENT ISSUES, not according to some 'team' you are foolishly supporting because your friends would hate you otherwise. Peer pressure has gotten so bad in the adult world (it was always bad, but in some ways had gotten worse this generation, maybe due to media influence and instant communication spreading to all corners of the country and world,) that people can't even go 'Y'know I don't agree with so and so on a lot, but dammit we're carrying a banner together on X!'
Just something for you all to mull over as you're hating on someone whose day to day views you dislike.

I feel dirtier every time, I realize, I am part of the "pee" in your "we" that was part of the "us vs. them world" of Donald Jeremiah Trump in the Moscow hotel with the hookers with the pee. Is this what you were really trying to say? If so, several news agencies want to pay you, so you will not feel so dirty. Fucking whore!
