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.

    And if I'm not using any of the programs you mentioned? What if I'm not even running X at all at the moment? How would your 'solutions' (some of which I've used and found cumbersome and incomplete even with X) preserve my context when I have a dozen virtual terminals open and no X session?
