MX, which as I said before is straight Debian as far as how it works... But if you just want a solid, working Debian-based system with a minimum of time and hassle, save yourself the time and aggravation and use MX.
AntiX turned me off of MX. Does MX use the same interpretation of /usr/local/ as AntiX? If it does, it's definitely not straight Debian, and why I only installed AntiX once. My /user/local/s are on separate filesystems heavily used by me, not compatible with the AntiX way.
