antiX is quite slow in updating even the most important packages. Not good for my usage. Might be good for you...

Less stable than Debian, which it is based on, and less secure, less lightweight, and slower than Void.

The list including modern operating systems at the top that is more suitable for everyday home use which is becoming a real challenge these days to find.

What is antiX?

antiX is a fast, lightweight and easy-to-install linux live CD distribution based on MEPIS and Debian's testing branch for Intel/AMD x86-compatible systems. antiX offers users the "Magic of MEPIS" in an environment suitable for old computers. The goal of antiX is to provide a light, but fully functional and flexible free operating system for both newcomers and experienced users of Linux. It should run on most computers, ranging from 64 MB PII systems with a pre-configured 128 MB swap partition to the latest powerful boxes. 128 MB RAM is the recommended minimum for antiX while the installer needs a minimum of 2.2 GB hard disk space. antiX can also be used as a fast-booting rescue CD.
