antiX is a fast, lightweight, and easy-to-install system-free Linux live CD distribution based on Debian Stable for Intel-AMD x86 compatible systems. It is perfect for older hardware.

antiX offers users the “antiX Magic” in an environment suitable for old and new computers. So don’t throw away that old computer yet. The goal of antiX is to provide a light but fully functional and flexible free operating system for newcomers and experienced Linux users. It should run on most computers, ranging from 256MB old PIII systems with pre-configured swap to the latest powerful boxes. 256MB RAM is the recommended minimum for antiX. The installer needs a minimum of 4.0GB hard disk size.

antiX can also be used as a fast-booting rescue cd and works extremely well running live with or without persistence on a USB stick or ‘frugal’ on a hard drive. Customize your version with our live ‘remaster’ tools or create ‘snapshots’ of an installed system.

At the moment, antiX comes as a full distro, a base distro, a core distro, and a net distro for 32 bit and 64-bit computers. Those who wish to have total control over the install use antiX-core or antiX-net and build up. Note that the net version will need an ethernet connection.
