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.

Slackware 3 Arch has a way of doing things the OpenRC way too IIRC. There's always Gentoo, but no way in hell am I compiling world on a mobile Core 2 Duo anymore.
FreeBSD is surprisingly mature, too. It's different from Linux, harder to set up, but I really like how it feels. Honestly, if I could have gotten antialiased fonts working properly I'd probably have permanently switched a few days ago.
