Am thinking -- for the challenge, if nothing more -- of moving my http and ftp servers (http://don.homelinux.net/~don/) from the current PCLinuxOS 2007 system to ... drum roll, please ... antiX.
Heck, I've done this with Slackware in the past, so antiX/Mepis/Debian shouldn't be any more difficult.
Imagine: a rebuilt/was-trashed HP Pentium III running web and ftp servers under antiX, no monitor attached and all access via Webmin? This is definitely coloring outside of the lines!

Let us know how it goes.
I think UnicornRider is using antiX (modified) for his server, or he was thinking about it.
You might want to use the antiX-base.iso for this and build it up by adding what you want. It would be a great learning experience and one (if you document it) for others to get help from too.
Good luck.

Pretty easy. Just apt-get apache2 & either vsftpd or proftpd.
The PITA is manually editing the config files, something PCLOS2007 does for you in a GUI.
I've used PCLOS for this based on 99% total laziness and 1% inertia.

Any idea what app it uses or is it a PCLOS tool?

It is /usr/sbin/drakconf, which is propriatary Madrake/Mandriva, I believe.
I should add that my "computer lab" is in an unheated garage which is currently at about +30F inside temperature! Not an inviting environment for experimentation.

(That is last year's snow, not this year's snow.)

Nice to see snow, but not that temperature!
Have you tried the lighttpd web-server that comes with antiX?
I haven't, but I read that it is very fast, light and very good compared to apache2.

Have not tried it but will. My web requirements are quite spartan.
