Just wondering if anybody out there has tried this
distro?
https://antixlinux.com/
https://antixlinux.com/about/
https://antixlinux.com/antix-16-3-full-iso-files-available/
https://sourceforge.net/projects/antix-linux/files/Final/antiX-16/

It is based on Debian, but without systemd, has a KDE4
desktop, but not a lot
of excess crap. It comes as a live CD, and can function as a rescue disc, as
well; would be nicer with TDE installed, but we can't get everything we want.
Also has a net install version, but this requires Ethernet.
Most of the images fit on a CD, and the base images
come without LibreOffice
(for those of us out there who, like me, hate it). In any case, it was
created without systemd from the start. By the way, it is hosted in the MEPIS
repositories, or so I read somewhere.
I intend to give it a try on my next system
reinstallation.
I gave it a try back when TDE was part of the AntiX distribution. It was nice
enough except for an incompatibility with my multiboot methodology, which keeps
a single partition with many apps, scripts and more I install outside the
package management system for mounting as /usr/local/. AntiX keeps much of its
differentiation from straight Debian in /usr/local/ in directories of the same
names I use instead of /opt/, so instead of trying to figure out a way to work
around the shared directories problems I simply dropped the idea of using it at all.
