    Clarifying the previous

    .
    A fairly good MX-14.3 pae review here:
    http://mylinuxexplore.blogspot.com/2...iew-truly.html

    Although, Blogspot review doesn't do MX-14.3 pae complete justice, IMO.
    Really nice CD-size iso; fairly late model kernel; 32-bit with pae kernel; XFCE 4.10
    Apps include Iceweasel, Synaptic, NetworkManager, LibreOffice, GParted.
    LiveUSB has built-in on-line remastering, uses squashfs. Broadcom wifi well-supported.
    On-line in short-order using Universal USB installer, making usb directly from iso.
    Pledges to remain non-systemd indefinitely. Doesn't do UEFI, however.

    MX-14.3 pae is a joint anti-X/Mepis product, not to be confused with a very recent
    amd64 precurser by Anti-X alone which uses systemd & wicd, and very different desktop.

    I agree with both of you, Philo & Werner.
    I think it is the antX/Mepis collaboration MX-14.3 pae which is exceptional.
    Having also built the 64 Bit-antiX, I'm much less enamored with that.

    My experiece with MX-14.3 pae makes me believe it may be somewhat better
    (more current) than its documentation. I haven't had any problems with it.
    Mine is an 8 Gb SanDisk LiveUSB, currently using about 4 Gb including 1 Gb
    of r/w persistence. I've remastered linuxfs up to about 870 MB by adding
    geany and a few other small comforts & tweaks.

    My impression is that UEFI is about the only thing that needs much more
    attention in MX-14.3. My 64-bit Win8 UEFI works fine with Knoppix, but I'm
    not sure its UEFI would work with a 32-bit pae Linux kernel. Using legacy
    boot would spoil the cleanness of Win8 booting both Linux & Windows without
    intervention by some grub or OEM process.
