MX Linux, formerly known as antiX Linux "MX" edition, is now included in the DistroWatch database as a separate distribution, rather than an edition of antiX (the project developers has recently set up their own website and project infrastructure).

Just like previous versions of MX, this release defaults to SysVInit. What's new? Aesthetic changes include a newer theme, new wallpapers and icons as well as improvements to the look of the installer. Applications: Xfce 4.12 is the desktop environment; latest Firefox 49 for browsing and Thunderbird 45.4.0 for email; VLC 2.2.4 caters for videos and Clementine 1.3.1 for playing and managing your music...."
