What are you thinking of calling them? BLantiX? BL-MX? BLAM-X?

I still think BL could do worse than switching to a MX or antiX base instead of straight Debian.

I think BLaM with a theme song by Wham might work. ;) I'm actually hoping the folks at BL will see the ease with which I was able to make BL work with both antiX & MX and that will speak volumes in terms of benefits to all the distros. If it were me, I'd certainly see a significant advantage in using our distros as their base. Systemd, no-systemd, low-spec machines, blended toolkits, etc. But then what do I know.

If you want wallpapers for BL and/or BL&MX, I have made a few. :lipsrsealed: Hopefully they'll be appealing. If not, at least they are free. :eek:

Congrats on I'll begin working on building an antiX19 version of BunsenLabs Lithium. Who said it will not work on a completely systemd free environment.
