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.

    What horror stories? The only horror stories I hear about systemd are whiners whining about something that isn't going to affect 99.5% of the rest of the users. Get over it... systemd and Trump are here to stay.

    Ah, I see what you did there, have an +1 AC mod point for raising a chuckle on a particularly unfunny night (I'm about to disassemble a fscked laptop..just finished imaging the disk from the bugger)..
