Welcome to Linux Saloon a place to discuss tech, open source and where Linux is always on Tap.
antiX is a fast, lightweight and easy to install systemd-free linux live CD distribution based on Debian Stable for Intel-AMD x86 compatible systems. antiX offers users the “antiX Magic” in an environment suitable for old and new computers. So don’t throw away that old computer yet! 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 256MB old systems with pre-configured swap to the latest powerful boxes. 256MB RAM is the recommended minimum for antiX. Installation to hard drive requires a minimum 5.0GB hard disk size.

Linux Saloon is a place to discuss tech, open source and where Linux is always on Tap.
This week we explored the distribution called GeckoLinux. It is a set of Linux spins built from the openSUSE distribution, with a focus on polish and out-of-the-box usability on the desktop. It is available in Static (based on openSUSE Leap) and Rolling (based on openSUSE Tumbleweed) editions.

This Open Mic Night was a blast. Linux Saloon newcomer, Brian, shared with us his work on compiling a Linux kernel with needed features for his Banana Pi Router board and how he is helping others in the Linux community with features they too need.
The conversation continued from there to talk in detail about the StrawPoll that Aris put together about what technology you have used at some point during your everyday life. It was quite the trip down memory lane .
