Briefly, I downloaded antiX-17.1_386-full.iso, burnt the file to DVD, and installed it on an old Athlon machine.
It happily replaced the very unsatisfactory Ubuntu installation on that machine.
It was unsatisfactory because it was impossible to run the usual browsers (no SSE2 instruction set).
Okay, so I can login for the first time without a hitch – a good start!
Clicking on “Menu” gives a bi-lingual selection of programs in English and Russian.
Clicking on “Desktop Apps” shows them all in Russian.
Why? I thought I installed in English only, as I don’t read of speak Russian.
I try to logout and shutdown, but can’t.
Opening a terminal and typing the shutdown command makes the Russian bash display an error I can’t read.
At this point I have no option but to switch off the power.
Any help tweaking my new installation would be greatly appreciated.
I’ve had four years’ experience of Ubuntu on various machines, but this is my first taste of antiX.

UK is not UK/GB but Ukrainian. Did you choose that?
The quickest way to fix is to re-install and do not use UK
The long way is to copy the files in /usr/share/antiX/localisation/en to your home directory

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.
antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.
Yes, I did select UK thinking it was UK/GB. UK standing for Ukrainian explains the Russian text.
It would help to have ambiguities such as this one highlighted during installation by displayed more info.
A simple list of abbreviations would suffice.
Thanks for your help and the suggestions to resolve the problem.

Using UK for Ukranian goes back a long time in Linux history, it used to catch me out when I first started too. 🙂

I’ve always believed that UK stands for “Unknown” and have, therefore, always avoided it. 🙂
