    I have been playing around a bit with both Antix and Damn Small Linux 2 that is based on it. I have been quite impressed.

    First, it is really just Debian curated to be light-weight. You have full access to all the Debian repositories.

    The 32 bit versions also work great. I booted to a fully working desktop on a 32 bit system and only 84 MB of RAM was being used. On top of that I ran Firefox, LibreOffice, Scribis, GIMP, and I think other things and was still around 900 MB. It would be amazing on ancient hardware.
