MEPIS has announced the “Spartacus” release of antiX, a lightweight derivative of MEPIS. AntiX is built and maintained by MEPIS community member anticapitalista, as a free version of MEPIS for very old 32 bit PC hardware. AntiX is designed to work on computers with as little as 64MB RAM and Pentium II or equivalent AMD processors. The new ISO images are available in the ‘released/antix’ subdirectory at the MEPIS Subscriber’s Site and at the MEPIS public mirrors.
