MX Linux or AntiX on 2 atom CPU netbooks?
The one will be Fujitsu M2010 with atom n280 and 2GB of RAM and the other one will be MSI u-100 with atom n270 and 2GB of RAM.
What you will recommend?
Also for some reason i cant create account at Antix Forum. Activation mail wont come at my mail.
Thanks in advance

FYI: mx "test" repo is not the same thing as debian testing repo.

Re: MX Linux or AntiX on 2 atom CPU netbooks?
MX was originally designed with low power netbooks in mind.
Custom build Asus/AMD/nVidia circa 2011 -- MX 19.2 KDE
Acer Aspire 5250 -- MX 21 KDE
Toshiba Satellite C55 -- MX 18.3 Xfce
Assorted Junk -- assorted Linuxes

Re: MX Linux or AntiX on 2 atom CPU netbooks?
I have a netbook like that and I installed MX Fluxbox on it along with Falkon web browser, and I disabled unnecessary services. I followed the steps listed in a howto guide in Tips&Tricks which I can't find right now about how to make MXFB use less memory and fewer resources. Lastly I set my expectations very low. While antiX seemed to be even faster it's meant for more-advanced Linux users as when you want to configure something on your system antiX opens a text file in an editor and you're expected to know what to do to make the changes that you want, which always left me rather lost. I much prefer the user-friendliness of MX at the sacrifice of a bit of speed. Of course there are other lightweight Linux distros out there as well.

Re: MX Linux or AntiX on 2 atom CPU netbooks?
Thank you all.
On Fuijitsu i will try MX first because it will be used by my gf who is not experienced with linux. I will try to make it Retro console gaming for old school games.
On MSI i will try antix , always wanted to run it kinda daily.
Have you experienced any problems with firmware?
Can someone contract an admin from antix forum for the problem i described? Still the confirmation mail hasnt arrived on my mail.

Re: MX Linux or AntiX on 2 atom CPU netbooks?
AntiX on MSI Wind U100 runs great! 97MB in use of RAM (out of 2GB)
Updated the BIOS too , so the this netbook can overclocked!
I have some questions.Excuse me if this not relative to ask.
Is there any way to enable Bluetooth? Is there any chance im missing any firmware?
Also is there any way to disable/hide the Number 1 workspace and Number 2 Workspace?
Lastly is there any way to show temprature from "sensors" at the desktop?
Thanks in advance for your fantastic work!!!

Re: MX Linux or AntiX on 2 atom CPU netbooks?
If you've decided to use antiX and now have questions about it you should start new topics in the antiX forum. You're in Hardware/Configuration for MX Linux, not antiX Linux. Don't forget to post your system information whenever asking for help.
