(1) Is there any special reason why MX-14 doesn't have its own column on the Distrowatch antiX page?
http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=antix
It's mentioned in the "Reviews" and "Recent Related News" sections, but after that it's like a non-entity. eg, the package list columns goes from 13.2 to 14-alpha1, as if MX-14 isn't a real release. I realize how Distrowatch sets things up is their own business, just wondering if it's an oversight or intentional.

(2) But here's something that is closer to home. On the same page, if you click on the Distrowatch link for Downloads http://antix.mepis.com/index.php/Main_Page#Downloads, you will be taken to the part of the antiX page where you can see downloads for 13.1 and 13.2, but no MX-14. The download for that can only be found on the news part of the antiX page. A casual browser following the Distrowatch link might not persevere. Any chance MX-14 could be added to the Download section of the antiX page?
That page needs to be redone now, and anti (or maybe I?) should probably contact Ladislav with specific suggestions on how we would like to see that done.

my main computer is mint. The two computers I use as TV servers to run XBMC on are mX-14. I had mint on one but did something to it and discovered they changed something in Mint so that it doesn't work on older hardware. I tried different OSes meant for older hardware and found mX after trying 4 or 5. (the requirements was that it is a cd version) I love mX-14 and if I wasn't afraid of screwing something up would replace Mint with it. Well, maybe not. I subscribe to the philosophy of..... if it aint broke don't fix it. Mint is working fine so it stays.
