Development Release: antiX 17 Beta 2 |
|
The antiX project has released a new development snapshot of their lightweight, Debian-based distribution. The new beta snapshot, antiX 17 Beta 2, features mostly small improvements and polish over the previous testing snapshot. The new beta uses Debian 9 "Stretch" as a base. "One month on from the release of beta1, we are ready to test out beta2. Hopefully we managed to fix some of the problems identified in beta 1 such as automatic connection to Ethernet on live device and installed to hard drive. Decided to use conky-legacy and gufw-legacy versions (1. to save some space and 2. to save some RAM usage 3. They both seem more stable). Installer now prompts for keyboard set up at the beginning rather than near the end. This should work much better for those who want/need multi-language support. eudev seems to be working OK so we will ship with it rather than udev. (note it is packaged as udev to avoid dependency hell, but I assure you we are using eudev)." More information can be found in the project's news page. Download (MD5): antiX-17.b2_x64-full.iso (766MB, pkglist). |
