MX-18 Feedback

[jeanpaulberes]

I've been a die hard (still am) Gentoo user for 15 years and MX is rocking my boat. (That's a high compliment.)

You might want to take a look at our sister distro antiX. It's more cli oriented. It's got the console decoration that I think may have originated in Gentoo. AntiX is still Debian based but it's been influenced by Gentoo. If you want a fast booting rescue live-usb that is easy to customize then check it out. On fast hardware it can get to the Bash console in less than 5 seconds. Use the "fdb+" option. It can do a frugal install and boot to the installed system in less than 30 seconds, again given fast hardware. TBH I do most of my MX/antiX development work on Gentoo.

To work in CLI (Console mode) only not necessary to use whatever option or type whatever, you can use <CTRL> <ALT> <F1> through <CTRL> <ALT> <F6> and login into the console ... <CTRL> <ALT> <F7> to return go Graphical Environment ;-)

Bitjam means there are lots of cli-based tools and apps in antiX
