I have been away from Antix and MX distros for a while. I'm still searching for a light, stable and easy to use/configure distro. I love the fact that MX16 will allow installation to USB with persistence. I have been using Tahr Pup 6.0.5 for a while and love it. My hope is that MX 16 will offer the same kind of functionality and more. All of my computers are desktop machines as well. No portable devices but USB installation intrigues me!!

AntiX-16, which I am using on a USB stick to write this, may be worth while to test also.
