tons of misc. updates to the mx tools.
most help files are now available on the iso
-antiX live system changes
The latest antiX live system updates, included improved support for hyper-v and kvm.
improved support for frugal installations on ntfs devices
live system now boots with a informative text-based boot splash.

Hey FYI the discussion link on the article is not working.

I'm more and more tempted to build out a Linux boot on my system to tinker with. This is not helping.

Fixed, thanks for the heads up.

I'm pretty surprised that this is considered "one of the most popular" distributions. I've been 95% on linux for decades and this is the first I've heard of it. Going to have to look it up!

Its been close to the top at distrowatch for a couple months now.

Really nice distro.

See how often I hit up Distrowatch lately? I miss my Linux box.
