antiX-15 released

[anticapitalista]

A lot of time and work was spent getting antiX-15 (Killah P) ready for stable release; we hope you like it.

As with previous releases, antiX-15 comes in 3 flavours for 32 and 64 bit processors all fitting on a cd.
antiX-full (667MB) -4 windows managers - IceWM(default), fluxbox, jwm and herbstluftwm
antiX-base (567MB) -3 windows managers - fluxbox(default), jwm and herbstluftwm
antiX-core-libre (222MB) - no X. Just enough to get you connected (wired) and ready to build.

antiX-base and antiX-core versions use gzip compression of the squashfs/linuxfs file which means a faster boot
to desktop with less RAM usage, but file size is approximately 80MB larger. antiX-full uses xz compression.

antiX has been designed to be fast, light on resources and flexible.

Install it to harddrive, run it live from a stick or run as a frugal install on a partion.

Want to run antiX on a usb device with persistence?
antiX does this simply and effectively.

Want to remaster your running live system?
antiX makes this easy.

Want to create an iso file of your installed to hard drive system?
Yes, antiX has this feature too.

Want to run live on a box with UEFI bootloader?
antiX can do this.

The choice is yours!

The Crete mirror is now populated:

http://ftp.cc.uoc.gr/mirrors/linux/mxlinux/MX-krete/

NOTE: the file for the md5sum of the antiX-15-V_386-core-libre.iso is now correct.

The 386-core-libre.iso is the wrong size. It should be c 220MB
The others look ok though.

The Crete mirror is now populated:

The 386-core-libre.iso is the wrong size and the md5sum file is wrong. It should be c 220MB.
I'm sure it will get uploaded soon.
The others look ok though.

Thanks, did not notice that. For some reason, though we have a 5-min cron job on the rsync server, we have an incomplete version there. We knew that if a file were changed without a change in title the rsync server would not know about it, and assume that our cron job caught that file in partial upload. We will look to see if file size is included in the Sourceforge rss file, and introduce a check into the script sometime this week.

We have deleted it from the rsync server and have repopulated the mirror, where it now reads correctly 222mb. Crete mirror has changed to an 8-hr cron job, so it will get there in the near future.

OK, all good to go now.

Do we have a volunteer to seed torrents?

[Jerry3904]

I think if you re-post that in the Torrent Teamforum you might get a speedier response.

[BitJam]

Okay, I will start seeding. I am starting with full-x64 then full-386 working my way down to core-386.

Edit: correct the order.

[uncle mark]

Point me to the torrents and I'll be happy to seed.
