Hello. I did a google search on antix and found a review that was to some degree negative. The main problem was user-friendliness and mounting devices was the culprit. The author felt that it simply wasn't obvious to new users when it came to mounting devices. I suspect that the author was unfamiliar with pcmanfm, which handles all mountable devices with ease since m8. However, I decided to look for a mount app - especially one with docking capabilities, much like you'd find in the de's. I found gtkdiskfree, but it did not have a tray icon. Since I've always wanted to try alltray (I've wanted a tray icon in fluxbox for absvolume for ages), I decided to use that to get gtkdiskfree to dock. Here is the result (the desktop is kinda ugly):

P.S. If you want to try - and I haven't yet - to dock absvolume in the fb tray, add this line to your startup file:

alltray absvolume &

I've tried something similar in icewm, but gtkdiskfree doesn't dock. I even tried using my standard sleep solution. I think I'll try a trick I learned from the latest puppy cd and report back.
