I know I asked before on MepisLovers, but could you post specs, which antiX using, how it runs etc.

Here is mine.
AMD CPU 1677Mhz
512 RAM
nv17 nvidia card
Realtek ethernet card
AC97 on board sound
1GB swap

Both Spartacus and Lysistrata fly on this box.

Lysistrata
P3 500Mhz
192 MB Ram
TNT 2 gigabyte video
Creative Labs SB Live audio
3Com ethernet

Lysistrata
P3 1Ghz processor
192 MB Ram
PNY GeForce 5200 video

Spartacus
Dell Inspiron 2650
1.6Ghz Celeron
128 MB Ram

Running sid on P3 1Ghz machine. Was running sid on P3 500 but things became unstable and weird things started happening. For example lost my right click Fluxbox menu. Also using Fluxbox hot-keys occasionally kicked me out of x.

Probably a hardware issue and not sid. I did reinstall to original repos so time will tell if gremlins start popping up again.

Overall a super experience and having a lot of fun playing with the old parts bin.

Just installed Lysistrata. Was using Beta 2.

IBM Thinkpad A21m
PIII 750 MHz
256 MB RAM
5 GB harddisk
Built in Ethernet
Various USB storage devices.

Have not yet tried my D-Link DWL-G650 WiFi pccard (no WiFi at my current location)

Spartacus (but Lysistrata soon) on an adopted Dell Inspiron 5000e laptop, Pentium III 650 MHz, 320MB RAM, 30GB HD. I'm waiting for the dongle that goes with the Ethernet card (thank God for eBay), so I can put it through its Internet paces.

But at first look, this computer runs faster than any computer I've ever had. Also, I should add that the X multimedia system plays audio flawlessly.

Antix M7-RC1 / testing repos
Acer Travelmate 512Dx
Intel Celeron 366MHz
256MB RAM
4.6 GB HD
Sound: ESS Solo-1 E (ES1946)
System Bus Speed 66Mhz
Ethernet: PCMCIA Netgear FA411 (Works out of the box)
Graphics Adapter: NeoMagic NM2200C V.DH (NMG5) 2 MB
Screen: 12.1" HPA 800x600x16M (luckily I got an external 19" tft that allows for 1024x768x16)

antix works like a dream.

p.s. if you enable APM in your bios make sure to run (as root)

IBM Thinkpad 570 PII 366 w/192MB RAM and 5GB (of 6GB) HD

1GB NTFS for special purpose Win2k software. (Would like to run with WINE.)
3.5GB root EXT3, .5GB swap, 1GB home EXT3

Works very well, if not fast - it seems stable, and wired ethernet w/DSL is full speed and solid. Sound works, although YouTube needs more horsepower, Flash is OK. I'll need NDISWRAPPER for the cardbus USRobotics 811b/g WIFI. I managed to install KStars, but this newbie hasn't figured out how to add a menu item or desktop icon to run it yet. Confused

AntiX-M7 initial stable release - not .01 with all repositories enabled, all updates, and scripts replaced. Maybe I should use .01 and be choosier with repositories and replacing scripts - but KStars refused to install initially.

I want AntiX as a modern up to date OS on this computer, (with its on-board serial and parallel ports), for Astronomy, and Amateur Radio - N0IJJ. Very Happy

Hello,

Thanks for Mepis Anti-X, it works with this Celeron 400 MHz on a Shuttle HOT-661 (Holco) motherboard. I haven't updated the BIOS yet, and most distros fail because it's past cut off date. Win2000 worked, but missed some drivers, and I prefer Linux usually.
