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.

Home will be in the 4GB partition
Is it a partition or a file? Those are two different things. There's nothing that limits a FAT32 *partition* to 4gb. And there's no reason you'd even need to format a partition for Linux as FAT32, flash drive or no. Heck, with the right driver you can format a flash stick as ext2 and use it with Windows.
Also, how can I easily go from windows to installing linux like a normal device on a flash drive?
Either burn a LiveCD (LiveDVD) of the distro, or use unetbootin with a second flash drive. Then just boot up the live distro and install to the USB device. You just need to find the dropdown that switches the install from your internal hard drive to the USB device, and it should put the bootloader and necessary files there. Probably best to google it first though.
