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.

Here in America, we don't need to justify wasting electricity. It just comes natural. Drive through any city in the wee hours of the morning, and they've left tens of thousands of light bulbs burning for no reason.

I would say the reason is probably to keep the crime rate down. It's much easier to mug/rape/kill/etc. peeps unnoticed when every street is a dark alley.
