I think it fair to say that you are considered to be the voice of Antix being the administrator of Antix’s forum and listed at SourceForge as – “antiX-Linux: Brought to you by: adrianmx, anticapitalista, pcallahan80, stevenpusser.” You even take the Antix Logo as your own avatar…

LQ members can now form their own opinion if it was justified to call me out as a liar in a cheesy attempt to discredit me… how sad is that..?

That's using Xfce, with Pale Moon and OpenOffice running.

Hi David – would ask you politely and respectfully – LQ Veteran – to delete your post as it brings absolutely nothing to this thread.
Perhaps you misread the topic - Any sub 200MiB (RAM used) Distros with a Desktop out there..?
Then I would delete this post, thanks – Andy

Er, what response have you had to a technical thread you started outside of single distro slackware and or desktop.
Er, In the past decade

Thanks for reminding everyone just how inefficient slackware and KDE can be - much obliged

Back on topic - thanks to the other 1060 who checked out this popular reference topic - cheers

The only faeces stirrer we have seen here is your post #28 - hanging onto the coattails of Anticapitalista - Antix refuses to officially support LXDE … - Why do you persist in posting this lie?

Shortarcflyer of Louisiana USA #28 - I agree. It seriously needs to stop!
I guess it is because he got banned from the Antix forum and is trying to sling his ire and wrath because of the banning.


We can only see yourself slinging ire and limp wrath here, haha, lol
Seems apt to invoke our English Wills – the Bard – William Shakespeare -
"The lady doth protest too much, methinks" - a line from the play; Hamlet. It is spoken by Queen Gertrude in response to the insincere overacting of a character, so apt, so funny, lol

Turns out as most already know: AntiX is brought to you by Anticapitalista according to AntiX’s SourceForge web page – so one and the same.
Could have also quoted Anticapitalista further but resisted the acute temptation, or shown the Antix LXDE distro software, in a screencast action video, rejecting a clicked menu item with an “Error” warning “not supported” – pretty conclusive evidence to back up what I post. How about you..?

So you present no evidence whatsoever to back up your faeces stirring (excuse the pun) and show off your bad manners by refusing to apologise.

Most of LQ will have guessed as much already and seen through the false accusations and your theatrical indignation, like a transparent MX window.

ps: So ironic and amusing to see Anticapitalista resorting to the No1 Capitalist tactic of a false personal smear campaign followed by a stooge.
His excuse is so funny – if it’s not too deep a pun – like Newton trying to distance himself from his theories on gravity, haha, lol
Or from a simpler USA perspective like the president’s son; Hunter Biden trying to distance himself from that Ukrainian gas energy company. (on the board of Burisma) Hunter Biden now pleads “poor judgement” having trousered the millions of dollars…. Nuff said…..

Back on topic – thanks again to fatmac for his positive input – will check them out and perhaps make a shortlist to save our readers scrolling through 40+ posts. Thanks to all you 1,050 plus viewers of this popular reference post helping to highlight the very small number of Distro-Desktop combos that make the sub 200MiB efficiency grade – cheers

Er, oh, no idea. Can't be bothered looking back over my posting history. Thanks for asking anyway.

Strange, I haven't noticed any inefficiency. But then I'm not as worried about using over 200 MB's of RAM. Why are you?

As if; after 8,000+ posts anyone can check out your profile statistics and list the threads that you have started over the past decade – simples.
Looks to me like a one club golfer – slackware. Please correct me if not 100% accurate analysis.
Past decade for brianL in one window….

Doubt if any slackware user understands efficient use of resource when inefficiency starts at installation; being a pain even for Distrowatch’s top tester who’s experienced with slackware. Just how bad does it get – another topic perhaps?

Must admit that when I started this thread I never expected this level of interest. Thanks guys and thanks to LQ

Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.
Learn how to search. If I haven't started many threads, that means that I've found solutions to some problems without resorting to LQ.

You mean the review where the "top tester" ( ) didn't know he'd need development tools to build SlackBuilds?
