Got a bit of a gripe...
For those who can't resist the thrill of resurrecting relatively ancient hardware from the grave, 32bit MX19.4 is MUCH more suited to the task than is MX21--even the Fluxbox version.
For example: I managed to successfully install and run 32bit 19.4 Xfce on an ancient Compaq Celeron M powered laptop dating to 2006 with just 1 GB DDR2 RAM, that originally came with Windows Vista, albeit with the original mechanical HDD replaced with a 128GB SSD. Boot time was a bit over a minute, RAM usage at idle was about 580MB.
The GRIPE is that it is virtually impossible to find the WELL-HIDDEN link on the MX website to Sourceforge's "old" file folder to actually download it!
SOMEONE on the MX team ought to make it more accessible.

Consider making beneficial suggestions without griping, something more like "I have a good idea. Why not ... ." BTW, 1 GB RAM isn't enough anymore for a PC to be useful with modern desktop software. More RAM, in particular something higher than 2 GB (i.e. 2.5 GB or higher) will make that laptop pleasant to use with XFCE, and even nicer with LXDE or just a window manager like OpenBox or FluxBox. And, mainly, a modern web browser just sucks usable memory out the available resources.
