Support is the same for the whole antiX 19.X series.

@ventus – The antiX 19 series is actually just ONE. Through the normal upgrading, it is the same as the most-recent. So if you started at 19.3, then through upgrading the software via the “sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade” at the terminal, or running “antix updater” via the antiX category on the main/start/root menu – you end up equal to the 19.4, and beyond.

Now and then new programs get added during a point-release, like seamonkey. Just install it if you want to. And there are other very minor differences sometimes. But generally speaking, you get there by running antiX updater.

Bottom line: you are equal to 19.4 if you have “nineteen-point-anything,” and have run the antiX updater recently.

Xecure’s notice above says it well. Hopefully it will clear up anyone else’s confusion.

I agree with Christophe.

As far as any possible differences you might see, the reported version number is whatever you initially installed and the visual appearance will also be what you install. You can modify appearance either with different packages or with your own customized look and feel.

Functionality is identical for any updated system.

I see. So nothing to do for me and maybe I got already the updates 🙂 Thanks!

That’s right! If it’s working well, leave it alone and simply open a terminal once or twice a week and run the command: sudo apt update; sudo apt full-upgrade

Ok, I have already used the update manager, which I have as an icon in the taskbar. With the function “sudo apt update” I get the following information:

sudo apt update

N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.

Obviously something is not good. I was taking a look to:

man apt-secure

Where can I find apt-secure (8) and what can I do there?

2 ways to solve here: https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/expkeysig-error/

Third solution

sudo sed -i 's/^deb /deb [trusted=yes] /' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/antix.list
sudo apt update && sudo apt install antix-archive-keyring
sudo sed -i 's/^deb \[.*\]/deb/' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/antix.list

Yes. This is a good video. Very well executed. (I particularly like ones where I can understand it without sound. A+)

Thanks for the compliments @all. I uploaded it so late (almost 4 weeks since release) I felt ashamed of sharing it here.
Hopefully the next one for antiX 21 (or whatever release comes first) will be a bit better and come out a bit sooner.

Things happen. Life happens.

You consistently share it lot of time, help and contribution; nothing to apologize about whatsoever. Thank you for your time and effort!
