antiX is a fast, lightweight and easy-to-install Linux live CD distribution based on Debian's "Stable" branch for x86 compatible systems. antiX offers users the "antiX Magic" in an environment suitable for old computers. The goal of antiX is to provide a light, but fully functional and flexible free operating system for both newcomers and experienced users of Linux. It should run on most computers, ranging from 256 MB old PIII systems with pre-configured swap to the latest powerful boxes. 256 MB RAM is recommended minimum for antiX. The installer needs minimum 2.7 GB hard disk size. antiX can also be used as a fast-booting rescue CD, or run "live" on a USB stick, with or without persistent file storage.

I install the 32 bits full version on a live-usb and it runs fine on my old hp-laptop. After I install it on the 117 Gb hard disk of mij old laptop, I get a message about a not found inittab record, but after some (a minute) delay the antix system started up normally. What can I do to prevent the delay? I have looked around in the system, enjoyed it and could easily configure my 2 printers. Kan happy that I tried this distro
