Straight from Thessaloniki the Greek developers of the GNU / Linux operating system antiX announced last week two new distribution releases, the stable edition of 15.1 and the first Alpha construction of the upcoming 16.
According to the release notes published in OS website antiX from one of its creators with the name anticapitalista, φαίνεται ότι οι προγραμματιστές δεν θέλουν να έχουν σχέση με το επόμενης γενιάς σύστημα systemd init όπως και με κάθε άλλο λειτουργικό σύστημα GNU/Linux που το υιοθετεί.
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).
Among other new packages added in antiX 16 Alpha 1, we can notice GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) 5, X.Org 7.7 screen server, XTerm terminal emulator, eLinks web browser. Also worth mentioning are the irssi IRC client, rsync remote sync utility, Ceni and DHClient for connections network, the smxi/inxi scripts, as well as the antiX Live remaster and persistence scripts.
The 16 Alpha 1 is available for download via sourceforge site, as 64-bit και 32-bit εικόνες ISO.
From corresponding sourceforge website you can also download the new antiX 15.1 stable version, which includes all the latest fixes better safetyand fixes bugs that appeared after the release of antiX 15.
And of course all versions are free and open source.
