Hello from the Pacific Northwest

Hi everyone, just dropping a brief note from my old Dell laptop with antiX base. I’m liking this distro so far, easy to install and configure. It seems quite intuitive. Looking forward to building a music server on a dumpster find Acer desktop.

Here’s a list of the hardware that I am currently running with Linux.

Inspiron 3531 laptop (circa 2014)
Pentium N3530 2.6GHz, quad core, integrated graphics adapter, 4GB RAM

Was frustratingly slow with Windows 8.1, but feels quite lively with antiX-19.3.

Acer Aspire AM3400 desktop (circa 2010)
AMD Athlon II x4 635 2.9GHz, integrated Radeon HD 4250 graphics adapter,4GB RAM, Asus Xonar Essence STX 24bit sound card

This was pulled from the E-waste bin at work. No hard drive, but otherwise functional and in good shape.
Currently running Lubuntu 19.04 (not LTS). This will be my main project as a audiophile music server, player and recorder based on antiX.

This ought to work well,

antiX can be used on stuff 5, 10, sometimes even older.

Another option is to turn old hardware into a Chromebook alternative.

Both approaches have their pros and cons.

I’ve rarely ever found a system that failed to run antiX and I have used it since the very first public build.

such as 20+ years old Pentium-III’s and Pentium-II’s. 🙂

Welcome Tentoes. I’ve played with a couple music servers on antiX. One good one is MPD/Cantata. Another MPD/mpc. Have Cantata on an old Pentium-III laptop with 256Gb RAM. You should have no problem with your equipment.

I grew up in PNW, Seattle.
