antiX-26 (Stephen Kapos<\/a>) is a new release based on Debian trixie that includes 5 init systems. (runit, sysVinit, dinit, s6-rc and s6-66). Default init=runit.<\/p>\n

We continue using window managers and the following are included.<\/p>\n

IceWM (default), fluxbox, jwm and the tiling window manager – herbstluftwm<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

There are 2 flavours – full (c2GB) and core (c660MB) for 64bit and 32bit arch.<\/p>\n

ProwlerGR deserves all the credit for integrating the various inits onto antiX as well as implementing the experimental turnstile.<\/p>\n
