Fresh 19.5 iso files available.
antiX-19.5 is a point release update of our 19 series based on Debian buster.
As usual we offer the following completely systemd-free (and for this particular upgrade – elogind-free) flavours for both 32 and 64 bit architecture. Available iso files for sysVinit or runit.
This is predominantly an update of our last release (19.4).
NOTE: elogind, libpam-elogind and libelogind0 have also been removed.
Instead we use seatd and consolekit.
Many upstream core Debian packages have been rebuilt to remove a hard dependency on libsystemd0/libelogind0
These include apt, cups, dbus, gvfs, openssh, policykit-1, procps, pulseaudio, rpcbind, rsyslog, samba, sane-backends, udisks2, util-linux, webkit2gtk and xorg-serverThose using previous versions of antiX-19 do not need to download this new version. Simply upgrade via apt or synaptic.
Full announcement here: antiX-19.5 point release update
Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.
antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

mentioned at distrowatch Jan 10, 2022
under the header “Development, unannounced and minor bug-fix releases”Was it really “unannounced” (vs announced, but ignored by distrowatch)?
I did notice anticapitalista’s January 3 comment and wonder whether you decided “why bother even submitting an announcement to distrowatch”distrowatch weekly Jan 03, 2022
Distro reviews (by anticapitalista on 2022-01-04 12:03:56 GMT from Greece)
Jesse’s list is of distros that were reviewed in 2020.
So an obvious question (actually 2) – How is a distro chosen to be reviewed? What are the/some of the criteria?The last Distrowatch review of antiX was of antiX-15, which was released in 2015.
Since then antiX has released the followingantiX-16, 16.1, 16.2, 16.3
antiX-17, 17.1, 17.2, 17.3, 17.4.1
antiX-19, 19.1, 19.2, 19.3,19.4

@skidoo – It was announced in the forum and on the blog/website and ignored by DW (maybe that is what they mean by ‘unannounced’ ie unannounced by them).
I don’t send any announcements to DW.Not only have they ignored reviewing all releases since antiX-15, they have missed antiX-12 and antiX-13 series.

Not only have they ignored reviewing all releases since antiX-15, they have missed antiX-12 and antiX-13 series.
They also happily publish trash reviews like
Version: 21 Damn thing cant install properly – so no installation – result in – no use of it – end result garbage –
waste of nerves, time and electricity ! Majority of Distros failure !

From a class of kids who wrote separate serious sensible reviews none were accepted.
All were sent from kids homes so for sure not IP filtered.To local users review of distrowatch. end result garbage fits well.
All posts are reviewed, only published if they fit in some weird Jesse Masterplan.

@Moddit – Distrowatch published 50% of the antiX reviews I submited to them- I’m not sure what their criteria for selecting which review will be published…

Not only have they ignored reviewing all releases since antiX-15…
Particularly strange [to me] considering that antiX is among the relatively few distros which has has continued to embrace sysV init, and Jesse Smith serves the role of maintainer for the sysv init project github.com/slicer69/sysvinit
From a class of kids who wrote separate serious sensible reviews none were accepted.
Wow (sad).
The only rationale I can imagine for rejecting those would be seeing “distroX has been receiving an average of 2 user reviews per month, but suddenly (within a day or two) a dozen reviews (similar [different IP but same country], and all positive) have poured in ~~ which might suggest “brigading”.All posts are reviewed, only published if they fit in some weird Jesse Masterplan.
Yes, on at least six occasions, my (innocuous, non-argumentative) posts to the weekly comment section have been deleted.

Question:
Does Runit Buster antiX 19.5 have the new Runit composition as the one in antiX 21 or this is the old one, the same as one in 19.4?
Service management tool, etc…- This reply was modified 1 year, 3 months ago by olsztyn.

Service management tool, etc…Answer:
It uses the older Debian way as in 19.4 so runit-service-manager tool is not installed.Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

Hi skidoo,

reviews per month, but suddenly (within a day or two) a dozen reviews (similar [different IP but same country], and all positive) have poured in ~~ which might suggest “brigading”.We thought that might be why, semi random submissions on last two months same results. Semi random no schedule asked kids not to repeatedly submit and one submission per user
only in small group blocks.One of my suspicions was/is that many of us have the same cable provider, that gives two or maximum 3 exit IP adresses.
innocuous, non-argumentative posts to the weekly comment section have been deleted.
Mirrors my experience, no reaction to reporting crap reviews either.
