Straight from Thessaloniki the Greek developers of the operating system GNU / Linux antiX announced last weekend two new releases of the distribution, the stable antiX 15.1 release and the first Alpha build of the upcoming antiX 16.
According to the release notes published in OS website antiX by one of its creators named anticapitalista, it seems that developers do not want to be related to the next-generation systemd init system like any other GNU / Linux operating system that adopts it.
And possibly, the upcoming 16 will have the SysVinit init system, so you will not find system-related packages such as libsystemd0 or udev-systemd.
Looking deeper into the Alpha version of the antX 16 operating system, we can see that it comes with a custom Linux 4.3 kernel. However, because Linux 4.3 has just reached the end of its life, antIX developers will eventually upgrade kernel packages to Linux 4.4 LTS (Long Term Support).
Μεταξύ άλλων νέων πακέτων που έχουν προστεθεί στο antιX 16 Alpha 1, μπορούμε να παρατηρήσουμε το GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) 5, το X.Org 7.7 διακομιστή οθόνης, το XTerm εξομοιωτή τερματικού, το eLinks web browser. Επίσης, αξίζει να αναφερθεί ότι υπάρχουν τα irssi IRC client, το rsync remote sync utility, το Ceni και DHClient για connections network, the smxi/inxi scripts, as well as the antiX Live remaster and persistence scripts.
The antix X 16 Alpha 1 is available for download through sourceforge site, as 64-bit and 32-bit ISO images.
From corresponding sourceforge website you can also download the new stable version of antX 15.1, which includes all the latest security patches and bug fixes that appeared after the 15 version.
And of course all versions are free and open source.
