This is a pretty dumb question, but then I’m new to antiX !
I was looking at the iso list available for antiX 19
i.e. net, base, core etc, and I notice it says that for some of
them they come with “no X”. Does “X” = the GUI of the desktop environment?Thanks in advance for your reply.
▪ 32-bit antix19.4-core+LXDE installed on :
- (2011) Samsung NP-N145 Plus (JP04UK) – single-core CPU Intel Atom N455@1.66GHz, 2GB RAM, integrated graphics.
▪ 64-bit antix21-base+LXDE installed on:
- (2008) Asus X71Q (7SC002) – dual CPU Intel T3200@2.0GHz, 4GB RAM. Graphics: Intel Mobile 4 Series, integrated graphics
- (2007) Packard Bell Easynote MX37 (ALP-Ajax C3) – dual CPU Intel T2310@1.46GHz, 2GB RAM. Graphics: Silicon Integrated Systems.

Yes, X => graphical desktop.
Net & Core are for those familiar with Linux, for server use, or those who don’t need the overhead of a graphical desktop.
Linux (& BSD) since 1999

You can also use the Core version to get started, There is “no X” to start with but you can add X and a full GUI through the repositories. If you have a limited system that may not work out of the box with X this can be a good way to build it up yourself. But of course that takes some extra effort on your part, thus it is best for “experts”. But you don’t have to be an expert to take advantage. All you need is time and the desire to get results.
Core takes up much less hard drive space and you can control the hard disk space and RAM use as you build it yourself. Great for old computers with limited space in both hard drive and RAM. I’ve used this approach on a few Pentium and Pentium-II class machines. On Pentium-III class machines I usually use the “Base” version which has X and IceWM already setup but still fits on a CD-ROM.
