antiX GNU/Linux 15 review

antiX is an open source, gratis GNU/Linux distribution based on Debian Testing. Unlike Debian though, antiX is SystemD free. It is designed for old and new computers alike, and is rather small, the full .iso file is 567/654MB. It has a wide selection of programs coming from the Debian repository, including Chromium, Xiphos, Emacs24, and 0.AD, as well as some programs pre-installed on it, such as Dillo, Geany, Midnight Commander and the ever useful DOSBox. At first I had some problems getting used to the Desktop environment, but after a bit I got used to it. This distro is not libre, by default it installs proprietary firmware, and due to having access to the Debian repository, it does have access to more non-free software. antiX is an all around solid distro, I would recommend this to people if it were completely libre. You can download it from here.
