I didn’t see this question discussed, so I am posting it in hopes of personal enlightenment.
I made two live-USBs of the same downloaded copy of 17.1, using the same program (Rufus).
One USB (Sandisk) will boot both machines, but the boot screen is somewhat different. On one machine (a Fuitsu dual core with 4 gig of RAM) it shows function keys, but no text option. On the other machine (Lenovo with a quad core celeron and 8 gig of RAM), it shows a “full” option, a customize option and a text option without any function keys.
The other USB (Lexar) only boots on the Lenovo.
The boot time on the Fujitsu is prolonged by a 5 minnute “gap” with the screen blank, compared to about a 5 second gap with the Lenovo.
Final difference: When the antiX screen launches and a the amount of RAM and /disk size is displayed, the Lenovo shows 7.68 gig of RAM vs 3.85 gig in the Fujitsu shows 3.85 and 3.05 respectively. While the RAM differences match the actual RAM on the two computers, I am unclear why the /disk is different in size.
Once launched, antiX works fine on both machines. On the older Fuitsu, the somewhat larger screen makes it easier to see.
**Last point — the Fuitsu is a BIOS/MBR system, while the Lenovo is a UEFI/GPT system.
