I am proud to announce the release of my antiX-23.2 - init-diversity - 2025 remaster edition which includes 6 inits (sysvinit - s6-rc - s6-66 - OpenRC - dinit - runit).

root passwd: rootA big thanks to @calciumsodium @masinick @ile from the antiX forum for testing & reporting bugs on the original 20250510 & 20250512 iso's.
A special thanks also to @eric from Obarun for providing guidance about getting 66 properly working on antiX, which in my humble opinion is the pinnacle of this respin.
From a users point of view, you will not notice much of a difference from the original spin apart from the presence of dinit & the new dialogbox GUI that I ported from runit & s6-rc - but from a developers/maintainers point of view the leap is very huge:
This release is much more than just another respin as it includes a lot personal work from myself to port various packages and scripts from upstream & other distro's.
I must mention that a lot of effort has been put to create a turnkey solution in terms of packaging the various services to handle dependencies & create the proper scripts to enable/start them.
To install from a clean antiX-23.2_x64-full.iso or antiX-23.2_386-full.iso you can use the following script & adapt to your taste
NOTE: Repo lines have changed from previous spin
