AntiX 17

=antiX-17 “Heather Heyer, Helen Keller” first released on October 24, 2017= Supported until 2022.

antiX 17 is a full-featured Linux distribution for old and new computers.

Based on Debian 9.x (stretch), and systemd-free, antiX 17 is fast, light on resources, and flexible. It's flexibility is displayed through its installation options. It can be installed to harddrive, of course. Additional options include being set up and run live from an (encrypted, if desired) USB stick, with persistence, and the ability to be remastered. The live-USB can also easily boot to a persistent "frugal" install of the operating system.
