I bought my first laptop (ASUS V6800V, 2GB RAM, 80 GB HDD, Win XP) in March 2005.
Instead of dumping it, I replaced the HDD by a SSD and installed antiX in March 2023.
What a pleasure to see the revival of this old machine.
I am new to Linux, and learn it (just finished “Learn Linux Quickly” by Ahmed AlKabary, Packt).
I installed ZeroBraneStudio yesterday, in order to learn Lua.
It works really good.
Thanks to all the antiX team and community for this excellent Linux.pierrebulens

I installed ZeroBraneStudio yesterday, in order to learn Lua.
It works really good.Lua is a fantastic language, I recommend you buy Programming in Lua, 4th edition, which goes over Lua 5.3. However, to understand the second half of the book, it may be good to learn C as well, since it goes over Lua’s C API (which I never mastered, since I didn’t know C at the time. 🙁 )

Hello pb.
Welcome to antiX Linux and the Forum.
I don’t know how to write in English and send my texts translated by the internet translator. I hope you can understand everything. If your native language is not English, please translate my original Portuguese language text in Brazil directly into your language with the help of internet translators that you will get a much better result.
Regardless of your level of knowledge about GNU/Linux, I recommend you read these excellent tutorials created by @PPC:
What is antiX and how to try it out or install it.
Short essential how-to list for the complete Linux newbie.
How-to install applications – 2020 version.
How to: correctly use antiX forum.
When I started using Antix, I read the tutorials that the PPC created, these readings spared me a lot of my time and I think it saves the time of any new Antix user. Your time will not be lost with these readings, it will seem to be much easier than you could imagine. You will not waste your time with internet searches or even create new topics, on the contrary, you will earn a lot of time from these readings. I recommend you try the work areas that have “ZZZ” in your name. I usually use the “ZZZ-Icewm” or “ZZZ-JWM” or “ZZZ-Fluxbox” (each of these work areas have their own characteristics and consume more or less resources). ZZZFM will be the default file manager in your desktop, it is very similar to other file managers from other GNU/Linux distributions and Windows XP. To access the other Antix work areas, click the Antix menu (or right -click), desktop, switch between desktops and click on the work area name, instantly to desktop will be loaded.In the Portuguese language area of this forum, there are several tutorials that may be useful for you . Use an automatic translator from the internet so you can understand the text.
Whenever you need to request technical help or support in this forum, explain in detail what is happening, do not save the words, be thorough when writing, enter the characteristics of your computer, such as the brand and the model. If possible, post the result of the command $ Inxi -zv7 of the terminal, copy and paste here in the message of the topic you create in this forum.

Hi and welcome!
2 Gb is what I consider the minimal amount of RAM antiX can use to navigate the web using a modern browser. With an SSD drive, that machine should run antiX as well as most modern low spec – to medium spec computers with the most used OS in the world…
I have a 32bits HP desktop with 2Gb of RAM, that also was born with Windows XP, now running antiX 21/22 on it, it runs ok, for office work, light web browsing, youtube (using smtube)… The only downside is not being able to run streaming services on 32bits machines!P.

Hi and Welcome,
you have a very good and easily maintained laptop. One of the best ASUS ever made.
Should be fine for all usage except heavier games.
