I'm running a live session from a flash drive, set up with Unetbootin, running with home persistence enabled. Looks very good. Lots of nice tools included.

 

For an installed system, I prefer Debian Wheezy (Xfce), but MX-14 might be a better option for a lot of people. 32-bit only, though, but MX-14 has a newer version of Xfce. Default repos: Wheezy, Wheezy Backports, antiX, and some stuff from the Mepis Community repos.

They need to hire some designers. I mean it looks ok but reminds me of a desktop from 5 years ago. Just my opinion so take it for what's it worth B)

Lol. Just a handful of volunteers from the Mepis/antiX community putting this thing together. I wasn't exactly impressed by the default appearance, either, but I don't pay much attention to that sort of thing. It's Linux and it's Xfce; who keeps the default set-up?

 

You know, it seems like with Mepis, it's always been that the default appearance looked kinda... unprofessional. They try, but they never seem to have any really awesome designs. But I guess that's okay; they're never gonna please everyone anyway.

That and it is easy to change the look of any distro but a lot of times, the default look is what sells new users on it.

MX-14 review: http://mylinuxexplor...view-truly.html

 

This reviewer wasn't impressed with the design, either, securitybreach! :)

 

Otherwise, seemed to like it:

 

In overall, I am very impressed with MX-14 and is using it right now as my main operating system. antiX has surely come up with a gem which is truly special. I recommend it to all Linux enthusiasts to try it out - just like me you may fall in love with it!
