I've discovered Enlightenment maybe a year ago through Elive and I was really impressed. Did not know about Antix back then but I would be curious to compare those 2 on old hardware. Bohdi and Puppy were the only other ones that could rival as a viable OS for the crappy PC I was trying to revive.
I'm an MXLinux OS user so for me it just was perfect that AVLinux was going that way. My first reason to use it is the snapshot feature and also the great tools it comes with.
When I'm finished installing I create an ISO that install on my laptop and on my backup PC. It's so practical. Besides that, I can deal with other DEs and have fun with them but I'm so used to XFCE it just feels like home.
