I’ve heard of Scribus, but if I’ve ever even used it, the experience must’ve been brief; I don’t remember trying it out. I’ve used a variety of word processors, going back to Corel WordPerfect, early versions of Microsoft Word, Star Office, and Open Office. On Linux, beside StarOffice Writer and Open Office, I’ve used Abiword, and the tools I still occasionally use are LibreOffice, pdftotext (takes PDF text and converts it to .txt format) and a couple of PDF readers. Naturally I have used a great number of text editors, including all of the ones that old UNIX users have known since the early days. Once upon a time I even used TECO a few times! 🙂

I also run into this problem. It has always annoyed me that grub assigns some generic name to a distro instead of the actual distro name. For instance “Debian” instead of Q4OS, or “Slackware” instead of Vector Linux. At least antiX and MX are listed as “antiX” or “MX” instead of Debian.

I have not attempted any modification of the config files as you have. But I may try that. Instead I have resorted to a simple text file that I keep on the boot drive and/or a shared partition. If I forget which distro is in which partition I boot into my main distro, the one controlling the boot, and open and read the text file. I update the text file each time I make a change to the partitions.

To me it is amazing how Grub, which should be made as simple as possible for reliability of such fundamental process as boot has been turned into such mess and not even providing basic info on installed systems and partitions. The only explanation that comes to my mind is that Grub development has been in the hands of Microsoft fifth column in order to sabotage Linux. Just look at the multitude of various ‘config’ files designed for nothing but to complicate and make it unmanageable.
That nobody raised red flags over time and this sabotage of Linux has been overlooked for such a long time, this is hard to believe…

Yes, indeed, antiX Live has all these included but these functions are unnecessarily nested too deep in menus. This is a great asset of antiX and the fact they are pretty much out of clear sight in boot menus might indicate that either antiX owner did not think it was an important asset to show up-front or perhaps was not even aware. Sorry anti – this is not a criticism but rather highlighting the real power of antiX, going beyond the typical use.
Since antiX boot process includes the capability of dynamically discovering all systems on HD (Both Linux and Windows) and shows a menu of them that includes partition, label and System, this is a great feature that people need and this feature should be made more visible up-front…

I am not sure of secure boot value for typical Linux users. As much as I would agree that it might be important for companies, where it is necessary to safeguard data however in general it seems more smoke and mirrors and not worth implementing across the board.
If there are those ‘angry voices’ on MX forum, are those based on real need of users or just driven by publicity and formality of having this feature…
Typically there is no such thing as ‘Public Opinion’. There is only ‘Published Opinion’, driven by agenda and politics.

The point is that you have to pay a fee to microsoft and the safe boot for the distribution is up and running. Maybe I’m wrong, I think this is not necessarily the happy solution for everyone.

Thanks, ModdIt. very interesting read.

Some points for curious people who don’t have the time to check it out:

What is Drovorub?

Drovorub is a Linux malware toolset consisting of an implant coupled with a kernel module rootkit, a file transfer and port forwarding tool, and a Command and Control (C2) server. When deployed on a victim machine, the Drovorub implant (client) provides the capability for direct communications with actor-controlled C2 infrastructure (T1071.0011); file download and upload capabilities (T1041); execution of arbitrary commands as “root” (T1059.004); and port forwarding of network traffic to other hosts on the network(T1090). The kernel module rootkit uses a variety of means to hide itself and the implant on infected devices (T1014), and persists through reboot of an infected machine unless UEFI secure boot is enabled in “Full” or “Thorough” mode.

[…]

Preventative Mitigations

Apply Linux Updates. […] System administrators should update to Linux Kernel 3.7 or later in order to take full advantage of kernel signing enforcement.
Prevent Untrusted Kernel Modules. System owners are advised to configure systems to load only modules with a valid digital signature making it more difficult for an actor to introduce a malicious kernel module into the system.[…]
Activating UEFI Secure Boot is necessary to ensure that only signed kernel modules can be loaded.

Hopefully, some day we can get Microsoft to accept antiX kernels (or at least MX kernels) and sign them as secure so we can use “Secure Boot”. Not much hope in this as most antiX is a small distro, with a small amount of users, and most of these users have no UEFI, as their computers are old (so most will not care).

As a side note, Russian hackers are now targeting my country for our low security Remote Desktop Access standards (many companies have started to set up Remote Desktop Access for their workers, trying to avoid corona virus spreading in the company, promoting “tele-work”). Recently a company had to pay 10 million dollars to free their system from a Ransomware attack to Russian hackers.

Also, this month a Massive Dump of intel files, sourcecode and information has spread on the web like wildfire, proving that they have a few backdoors set up for the USA “Intelligence” Agency.

Will we ever be safe from illegal and “legal” hackers, spies and governments? The only solution is prevention.

I never thought it was safe to download and install Apps from github. Some very useful stuff available.
like net guard, ghacks user.js and a lot of linux stuff. My Antix has evolved to something others might be shocked about, but it is stable and serves both my and a number of users I support well well.

I am not a fan of microsoft either, ever read a privacy policy for an MS product, you drown in stinking legalese slime. Mozilla is just as bad, compare to Palemoon to get what I mean.

On rooting, if your phone model can be rooted and is out of garantie XDA is your friend. i started to root phones
to get rid of some recommendations coming to my K3 Note as i was unable to get rid of them any other way.
I also flashed a couple of modified ROM to that phone.
Backup your data, get reputable advice and you will almost certainly be ok. i was sweating too, but still have the K3 note in high regard and on occasion in use. Brilliant device. My first ever China Import, it was fresh on china market.

You say thanks, me too. I learn, get inspiration through many others, forum members, school kids, a very difficult lady user, K who seems to find every bug or unclear usage advice. it is also about my non financial donation to Linux. And other denizens of this planet.

[Moderator Brian Masinick]

In fairness, both to our own personal desire for some measure of privacy and security, and also for free software efforts like Mozilla and others:

1) Most Web browsers, (and definitely both Firefox and Google Chrome (and Microsoft Edge and Apple Safari) all use cookies and other mechanisms. at least when configured in standard form.

Originally these mechanisms were for “convenience”, but even as far back as the late eighties and early nineties, there were discussions and concerns about security versus openness and ease of use. Many of the protocols developed early on, particularly as the Internet progressed from the standard interfaces of the early days, FTP, Gopher, and a few others, toward http, and later https, and once again, as Java became a common byte compiled programming language and the Web languages – Javascript (not very much like Java at all, just a “convenient name to indicate that it was a “script” language with slight similarity to Java because both were used for network programs), then PHP, Perl, Python, and others, there were MANY concerns about security.

Java, over the years, has made great strides, and some of the other languages have, too, but to truly “secure” the fort, so to speak, not only have Firewall technologies improved, but much more data and network encryption technologies have evolved, and various multi-factor authentication strategies have been developed.

2) The typical browser is not necessarily guilty alone of data insecurity, but unless the modern browser has provisions for all of these technologies, and fewer defects concerning memory leaks, wide open insecure ports, etc., there is work to do.

3) So here’s the deal: by default, very few (if any) Web browsers are set up by default for MAXIMUM SECURITY, unless they are part of a company’s enterprise security software suite. Most consumer products are designed with default settings aimed at ease of use – but the trade-off is that they transmit details that can potentially be used by companies, and even by hackers, to gain information about your buying habits, browsing habits, and maybe more, depending on what you do when you use your computer.

Is this “dangerous”? I put that word in quotation marks. Why? I have been using Web Browser technology since it’s earliest inception, even a couple of years before companies like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Google, and others started using the Internet for Electronic Commerce.

I’ve had spammers and hackers send me stuff, and once I had someone find my phone number and try to get me into a scam. I ALMOST got caught that once, but I was suspicious about it, so I called a friend of mine in the local police department for his opinion and he agreed that it was a scam.
I assisted him and the local PD, who cooperated with Federal agencies, and they actually CAUGHT the perpetrators.

Could that happen again? Maybe. But the fact is that I have been doing network computing since the eighties; I use standard products; sometimes I add Firewalls, but I rarely add EXTRA protection or modify all of the defaults. I have never once (not even from the scam) lost money from someone stealing information from me.

4) Could someone else be compromised? Sure, it’s still possible. But using antiX, MX Linux, or most Linux distributions, with at least standard packages, and more if you are paranoid, is QUITE LIKELY to provide sufficient security for most people. If you operate a business, then you need BETTER protection, but there are MANY enterprise grade tools – SSL security additions, SECURITY ENHANCED Linux features, etc. Many intranet / extranet features should be added to add a fortress around your information, plus tools within your network to protect against insider theft, insider trading or leaking of company secrets, etc. I worked as a project testing manager with network security for a couple of financial service companies just prior to retirement, and Linux has some of the best software to work in conjunction with this type of protection.

CONCLUSION: Bottom line: don’t fret for routine personal browsing; use what is comfortable for you, just exercise reasonable caution. For small business, look into your options for more. For enterprise computing, get a network management team with expertise in network performance AND security. That’s FREE advice from an experienced, retired software professional.

Assume you want to run both Win 10 and Android virtual machines (VMs) at the same time.
When creating each of the machines, you may set up maximal memory for each.
Try to set them up to leave enough for your system (it depends on whether you plan to do other work, e.g. browse the internet, while running the VM(s) or not).

1) Estimate the antiX system (would suggest 0.5G for bare system – no browsers running etc.).
2) Find minimal system requirements for each system to be used in the VM.
Win 10 page states 1GB (32-bit) and 2 GB (64-bit).
3) Sum it up and use free memory, if any, according to your best guess.

I am afraid it may exceed the 3GB you have available.

In order to minimize (at least partially) possible antiX system freeze, you may start the virtualbox from CLI as follows

@AA BB: I’m glad that you found some of that history very interesting. Without a doubt I have “geeky” tendencies, so I’m glad that someone found my comments interesting.

With regard to MX Linux compared to antiX, perhaps the history itself explains some of the differences between MX Linux and antiX.

First, around 2003-2004, there really were not very many Linux distributions that could consider themselves “friendly”, at least not to NEWCOMERS to a completely different kind of computer system software. Let’s be honest for a few moments. To the vast majority of people there are really only two types and brands of computer systems – those made to run Microsoft Operating Systems (Windows) and those that run versions of Apple Computer software – (Mac, iOS). People “in the know” who are software or hardware professionals know that there are many kinds of operating systems for many different purposes, but the comments above pertain to “consumer” knowledge and preference.

MEPIS was one of the few relatively early Linux-based distributions that made a definite effort to make their systems straightforward, something that a “typical consumer”, possibly one who is frustrated with the usual offerings, may search for. So though it was a very competent technical system, it really was created with a reasonably nice user interface and a similarly sensible choice of applications.

When there was no NEW version of MEPIS in 2012, the MEPIS Lovers Community began to wonder if they could build their own. In the immediately preceding years, there were already several simple remastering efforts created to provide different desktop and application alternatives. At least six or more years earlier, anticapitalista had (politely) requested permission to create his own, much lighter version of a system called antiX, and it was introduced in the MEPIS forums at that time.

The audiences for the two types of systems had a few things in common, so some people (like me for instance) ran both MEPIS and antiX. The primary MEPIS Lovers Community wanted to have that MEPIS-like easy to use system, but some people did want a “lighter” version, so when MEPIS development ceased in 2012, anticapitalista provided some of his expertise and mastered a version re-branded as MX Linux, using the Xfce desktop environment instead of the KDE environment, a good choice at the time because KDE had (at least temporarily) become a bit of a mess as it took on what was pretty new – KDE-Plasma, and therefore the move from KDE to the stable Xfce made sense.

The primary use case and purpose for MX Linux is therefore different than antiX. MX Linux is intended to be a stable, reasonably efficient, middle of the road compromise system, aimed primarily at two things: stability and applications that appeal to the same user community that previously ran MEPIS.

Mind you, there are plenty of “technically astute” MEPIS and MX Linux users, but what most people are seeking is a stable environment with applications that just work.

antiX, on the other hand, has a very clear priority to be “lean and mean” – replace “mean” to be as efficient as possible, with the primary aim of supporting systems in the age range of three years old to potentially over a decade old. That’s why efficiency takes a much higher priority.

Both MX and antiX are more “efficient” in my opinion than at least 75% of the other distributions available; for antiX, that number is much higher – antiX is in the top 5% of all distributions in efficiency, but I personally think it ranks #1 in being able to support one of the broadest ranges of hardware possible, from relatively new hardware to stuff that’s very close to “end of usable life”.

Therefore, the reason that MX isn’t as much into the “minimal version” is that antiX covers it well already, and it’s in the “same family”, that is, anticapitalista is a primary developer in both communities.

However, if you ARE interested in something “lighter” with MX Linux, one of the long-time MEPIS/MX members named Jerry has been behind a remastering effort to provide an MX alternative with Fluxbox instead of the Xfce Desktop Environment, though I believe it has “hooks” to allow you to run any Xfce apps (optionally), at which time (of course) it then loads in the Xfce libraries to support the additional apps.

Maybe that would be of interest to you. I have not tried out their Fluxbox variation, but I’m sure that it has the stuff that probably comes straight from our antiX setups that are able to run Fluxbox; maybe it would be of interest to you.

If not, may I suggest a bit of reading and learning. You may be surprised to learn that without a software engineering degree, you may still be able to remaster either an MX Linux or an antiX instance to contain precisely the software that you want. What it takes is to first add the different software that you want, then remove what you want to replace, test it out, and if it works, either take a SNAPSHOT build of the effort, put it on a USB device, and then you can boot it live or install it on one of your systems. You can also create a new image of the resulting work and either use it on your own or share it with others too.

On MX Linux, the tools are called Snapshot and Live USB Maker. (I’m logged into MX Linux now). AntiX has very similar tools available, so browse around to find them, and if you have trouble, write back and one of us can give you precise directions. It’ll be a GREAT exercise (and a satisfying experience) if you do a bit of searching, then you’ll realize, “Hey, this isn’t too difficult, *I* can DO THIS”!

Hope it goes very well for you! Look around, save all of your work in case something goes wrong, and try things out until you actually create something of your very own. If you are anything like quite a few people, you may feel a great sense of accomplishment once you build your own unique, customized distribution!

Oh wow, does that bring back memories!

While my system was Coherent back then, I checked out the MicroPort wikipedia page, and followed the link at the bottom to the manual! Warning – lots of [citation needed] flags.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microport_(software)

With Microsoft having wisely given up on upgrading everyone to Xenix, since all people wanted was an application launcher rather than follow the unix-way — others filled in with binary-only – no source, and typically no compiler (or one that was crap). Trying to make the unix box into the PC / micropocessor marketing environment of unbundling everything for $$$. Hence the popularity of GCC compiler – even among higher-end manufacturers.

I suppose at that time, you could CU into a bbs, Compuserve or other dialup, like a shell-account. Or use UUCP, BUT you had to find and establish a uucp account for that too as a consumer. Of course if you were a small business with remote locations, one could setup uucp privately.

But after all was said and done, can you imagine what one was supposed to do when “apps” were lacking? Ah, you grabbed source online from usenet, or ftp’ed it and then compiled it yourself. An example would be the “sc” spreadsheet. 🙂 So do you pay $$$ for Microport’s unbundled compiler, or use GCC with better performance? GCC it is!

But even then, can you imagine doing ed/vi and using nroff/troff for text formatting for a printer? Talk about the 70’s. 🙂 You’d scream back into dual-booting to DOS, and happily run Wordstar!

Egads – the manuals written by total nerds. For nerds (like me), not the general population. It was a total gas reading that manual – even in today’s environment. I just had to laugh. Anyone having trouble installing antiX should read THAT Microport installation process. 🙂

Thanks for bringing up Microport – I had forgotten about that.

As the Medion company was acquired by Lenovo in 2011, then I suspect that this laptop has weird battery controller from Lenovo. Lenovo supports their laptop hardware (including battery controller) by the Vantage software, which is only for Windows 10, and can be downloaded only from Microsoft Store. Just for testing of his laptop @k-ray may install Win10, register at M$, get Vantage software and test or set up properly the battery controller. Then return to antiX. 😉
My suspicion was wrong. I found specs for this model and not found there neither “weird Lenovo battery controller”, nor Lenovo Vantage software. Sorry for misguiding.

Hi, folks.

Just in case anyone is interest, I finished my latest project: a script, that uses rclone, to mount cloud drives just like they were regular network drives.
In newbie terms – you can use this to access your Google Drive (or almost any other cloud drive) just like it was a thumbdrive plugged to your computer.

The script (finished, unless unexpected bug come up) can be downloaded here:

Yes, you can remove unused desktops, but the disk space you would save would be very minimal. Unused desktops do not consume any resources, other than a little bit of disk space (a few dozens Mb).
If you want to use as little RAM possible, try choosing the minimal desktops from the Menu – Desktops -… ( Menu – Area de Trabalho – Alternar entre Ambientes de Trabalho, in portuguese)

General usefull information about antiX’s Desktops:

antiX full version comes with 3 desktops ( IceWM, the default one, Fluxbox and JWM)– they basically use the same amount of resources.
Each of these 3 desktops comes with 4 “modes”, in order of RAM consumption (from the one that uses more RAM to the least RAM:)
– Space…(that uses SpaceFM file Manager to manage the icons you see in the desktop)
– ROX… (that uses Rox file Manager to manage the icons you see in the desktop)
– the versions without any prefix: Fluxbox/JWM/IceWM (that offers no desktop icons, other than that you lose nothing and gain a dozen or so Meg of RAM)
– the MINIMAL … (that not only do not have desktop icons, but also does not start some apps, saving even more RAM)

TIP 1: if you don’t set a wallpaper, you can save about 2 Meg or RAM, but you end up with a very sad looking computer
🙂
TIP 2: if you are running Conky – the resource monitor that comes up on the upper right corner of the desktop, by default, and you don’t need it, you can turn it off in the Menu > Desktop > Conky on/off (Menu > Ambientes de Trabalho > Conky lig./deslig. in portuguese- sim, sou português :-))
TIP 3: you can do most of the stuff you can do in modern computers in antiX running on a 10 years old computer: using “light aplications”- you can use Claws Mail to access your e-mail; Smtube to view youtube videos in a insanely fast way; mpv and celuloid to play video files (it can be a paint to correctly configure them to use the lest resources possible, but you can watch full HD videos even in a single core computer); Dillo web browser can be used to access simple web sites, or you can install, from the Package Manager light browsers, like Palemoon, etc…

You can basically do almost anything someone with a modern computer can, as long as you have about 1 gig of RAM at least a 1.6 single core CPU – my 10 years old netbook has these specks and I use Firefox ESR to navigate the web (no more than 2 or 3 open tabs), Libreoffice, etc, I even wrote a script to use cloud drives (Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, etc, even on low specs computers, that I’m testing right now).

EDIT:
About your SpaceFM lock ups – I use SpaceFM daily for almost 2 years now, and never experienced that…- It froze about 2 or 3 times, and only when I was doing some experiments… If you use thumbnails, disable those, that can slow SpaceFM to a crawl on a slow computer… Also dragging files sometimes is a bit messed up- I usually just select the files I want to copy/cut and use the keyboard ( ctrl + c or ctrl + X) to copy them, go to the folder where I want to paste them and do a Ctrl+ v)

Try everything Xecure said, and report back (Please note: unless you know exactly what you are doing, DO NOT uninstall applications that come with antiX- it can cause problems!)

This will probably be the last of my “how-tos” for a while, but I didn’t want to stop without addressing this:

One aspect that Linux lacks is that it has no free official clients for some Cloud services, like Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive.

Note: Open Drive is an unofficial Google Drive Client you can install from the Package Manager

I posted, a tutorial, a while back about how to access Google Drive like it was a network drive. Since then I played a bit with rclone and found out if works amazingly well.
You can install rclone (it’s a tiny download) from synaptic or using the terminal:
sudo apt install rclone

Rclone is a command line application that allows users to access and mount many cloud services like they are network drives.
It has a non official GUI, rclone-browser, that does a pretty decent job letting user access their remote files using a Graphical User Interface. But, it lacks a few functions.
Since I like using the default antiX file managers ( In fact I only use SpaceFM), I stiched together a GUI that works pretty much like rclone-browser, but using your default File Manager to access remote files. You can drag and drop files one way or another, open remote pdf files or media files. But, to open document remote files, you’ll have download them to your computer and open them from there (or configure LibreOffice to access remote files).

Anyway, my experimental script is available in the link below:
https://pastebin.com/7ymTG234

How to use this script:
1- if you have not done so, install rclone
2- you have to configure a cloud account. Google Drive can be automatically configured by pressing a button. All other cloud services have to be configured using the terminal, typing answers to simple questions. Once the account is configured, you won’t need to use the terminal again:
2.1- To configure a new “remote” cloud account launch the script. It automatically detects if there are no configured “remote” services and asks if you want to configure one account.
2.2- Click the “Help” button, if you want to see an example of how to configure a Google Drive account (it’s the same principle to configure any other cloud service- when presented with the long list of available services, type the number of the service you want to use)
2.3- Click the “Automatically add Google Drive” button if you wish do to so. Enter your credentials when the browser asks you to, and allow rclone to access your google drive. Once you have done that, Click the “Quit” button and the main window pops open OR
Click “Manage Drives”, and a terminal configuration window pops up. Answer the questions until you complete the config process. Then click the “Quit” button and the main window pops open.
3- To access a configured Cloud Drive, launch the script and, at the main window, double click the “remote” cloud drive you want to access. It pops open in your default File Manager
4- To unmount your Cloud Drive, launch the script and click the “unmount…” button.

EDIT:
New, more mature version of the script:
https://pastebin.com/4Fj85h1X
https://pastebin.com/u8R5RDCx

Changes: the script now as a GUI for configuring a Google Drive account- the user doesn’t even have to see the terminal to configure access to a Google Drive account!
Also several minor change, and added a Help page.

As always, any feedback is welcome!

@anticapitalista- another request- I recently began using rclone and rclone-browser: those packages provide (once configured via CLI) a very easy way to access dozens of cloud storage services (namely Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive)- and take an extremely low ammount of RAM while ruinnig (anout a dozen Mb or so). They could be a worthy addition to the Package Manager (performing “sudo apt install rclone-browser” is a easy, although CLI to get this application- and it makes some sense not adding rclone-browser the Package Manager, since rclone has to be configured from the CLI- on the other side, running the configuration from the GUI simply starts a CLI interface that the user has to type through, by pressing enter or “y” or “n” a few times- I do have “fool proof” how-to instructions that explain how to configure Google Drive and Ms OneDrive that I can provide, if needed, to make life easier to newbies- Hell I’m not excalty new at this and still wrote everything down, just because I’m no longer used to reading and typing answers at the terminal- antiX as been spoiling me, now that I seldom need to use the CLI for such stuff)

This could be handy for users that depend on those services for doing backups or have a synced folder… It’s no dealbreaker, but I find this a quite good (although not perfect) solution… (the CLI configuration, and allowing drag and drop to upload files, but not to download files and also not allowing (at least I don’t know how to do it) the selection of multiple files to download…)
