ahoppin:

Good points.

I’ve built systems from antiX Core that resemble other distributions.

Many years ago I built antiX Core Xfce. A few years later MX Linux appeared with a MEPIS follow up and they switched from MEPIS KDE to MX Linux Xfce.

Ironically that’s what the distribution community did when one distro ended and the next one started.

I use both Antix and mxlinux, and I think an update checker for Antix would be a great addition. In particular, something like mx-updater

@fatboy, antiX Updater already exists. It is in the Software tab of the Control Centre and on the Applications|antiX menu in IceWM.

Hi all-team,
1)@robin :Appreciates your kind inputs with the in-depth explanations to such an extend, good work.
2)@Brian Masinick : Good simple illustration of explanation.
3)@ahoppin : thanks for this explanation on choices.

Thank you all assistants here, I think I would explore/experiment with it as it goes by, looks like I need to spend some time digest these inputs.

Good Day and Good bye.
Wishes all Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year coming soon.

@fatboy, you can install
apt-notifier
You afterwards uncomment it in the desktop-session startup file and it will put an icon in your taskbar that also reminds you if something can get updated.
control-centre > session > configuration of user session

Appreciates your kind tinkles. But I’m afraid I am trying to stay with IceWM which is my preferred WM (more lightweight compare to Xfce which was/is also my favorite.)
As for ZzzFileManager, I thought this one can be selected during the startup slimki login? I had bypass this slimki login because I have had selected default IceWm setup in startup.

Newmant1, I hope that after the explanations from all the people who shared their knowledge on this topic, that you can apply the PPC tutorial to configure the trash in the zzzFM (from antiX 21) or SpaceFM (from antiX 19.4) file manager. This setting will work for the window managers that are available in antiX IceWM, JWM and Fluxbox. Herbstluftwm I still couldn’t learn how to operate this window manager.

You mentioned the importance of having tutorials, I totally agree with you, however there are already several tutorials around the antiX forum, I know they are hard to find. Unfortunately I missed the moment to welcome you, normally I write for newcomers in the antiX community the text below:

“Regardless of your level of knowledge about GNU/Linux, I recommend you read these excellent tutorials created by @PPC:

Short essential how-to list for the complete Linux newbie and How-to install applications – 2020 version.”

I hope these tutorials can be useful to clarify your main doubts, another source of knowledge with several tutorials are in the language area Portuguese. I know it will be extra work for you, having to translate to your language with the help of internet translators and still having to interpret machine translations. Well, this way you will experience the same experience that I have every day to communicate with people on this forum, as I can’t read or write in English language.

You have already noticed that here you and all people interested in learning are always very welcome, be patient and don’t be in a hurry to learn, very soon you will be able to help other people here on the forum. Exactly a year and six months ago I arrived on this forum and I was very well received, as you were, since then I have been learning from the various teachers and masters who are always participating in this forum, as far as possible I also try to help the other people and so everyone evolves by sharing knowledge.

My greetings.

Newmant1, eu espero que depois das explicações de todas as pessoas que compartilharam os seus conhecimentos neste tópico, que você consiga aplicar o tutorial do PPC para configurar a lixeira no gerenciador de arquivos zzzFM (do antiX 21) ou SpaceFM (do antiX 19.4). Esta configuração servirá para os gerenciadores de janelas que estão disponíveis no antiX IceWM, JWM e Fluxbox. O Herbstluftwm eu ainda não consegui aprender a operar este gerenciador de janelas.

Você citou da importância de ter tutoriais, eu concordo totalmente com você, contudo já existem vários tutoriais espalhados pelo fórum do antiX, eu sei que são difíceis de serem encontrados. Infelizmente eu perdi o momento de fazer a sua boa-vinda, normalmente eu escrevo para os recém chegados na comunidade antiX o texto abaixo:

“Independentemente do seu nível de conhecimento sobre GNU/Linux, eu recomendo você ler estes excelentes tutoriais criados pelo @PPC:

Short essential how-to list for the complete Linux newbie e How-to install applications – 2020 version.”

Eu espero que estes tutoriais possam ser úteis para esclarecer as suas principais dúvidas, outra fonte de conhecimento com vários tutoriais estão na área em idioma Português. Eu sei que será um trabalho a mais para você, ter que traduzir para o seu idioma com a ajuda dos tradutores da internet e ainda ter que interpretar as traduções automáticas. Bom, desta forma você experimentará a mesma experiência que eu tenho todos os dias para me comunicar com as pessoas neste fórum, pois eu não sei ler ou escrever em idioma Inglês.

Você já percebeu que aqui você e todas as pessoas interessadas em aprender são sempre muito bem-vindas, tenha paciência e não tenha pressa em aprender, muito em breve você poderá ajudar outras pessoas aqui no fórum. Há exatamente um ano e seis meses atrás eu cheguei neste fórum e fui muito bem recebido, assim como você foi, desde então eu venho aprendendo com os vários professores e mestres que estão sempre participando neste fórum, na medida do possível eu também tento ajudar as outras pessoas e assim todos evoluem compartilhando conhecimentos.

Meus cumprimentos.

@MarceloCripe: You have indeed learned a great deal, and I am confident that you are still learning and improving. You’re already a helpful contributor in the forum, and your comments, helpful suggestions, suggestions, and solutions are always respected, valued, and appreciated, as are the comments of many people.
