antiX 17 follows the trend of previous versions to offer users an operating system that does not include the widely used systemd init system. With this release, Gentoo’s eudev device file manager for the Linux kernel is used by default instead of udev. Designed to be fast, flexible, and light on resources, antiX 17 features a new option that lets users run a bleeding-edge Debian Testing (Debian GNU/Linux 10 “Buster”) or Debian Sid platform. Also, it’s now possible to set up and run a live encrypted system with persistence.
