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.

Mate is basically GNOME 2.x maintained and patched to rename everything that conflicts (by design) so it can be kept in a repo with GNOME3 without throwing up errors. Yes, I have Centos 6.x running on workstations here too, it is sane, it works and with some patching to keep Chrome working it is current enough for folks to get work done. But it is nearing end of life. So I'm working on finding all the pain points in switching a user from Gnome 2.x on Centos to Mate on Devuan.
