mx-14 "symbiosis"

MX-14 has been released. I used Unetbootin to set it up on a flash drive, and I'm running it with home persistence enabled. Here's a screenshot taken after I tweaked the desktop a bit:

Very nice release, from what I've seen so far. One of the nicest Xfce distros I've ever tried.

MX-14 "Symbiosis" available

So, what is MX-14?

"MX-14 "Symbiosis" is a special version of antiX developed in full collaboration with the Mepis Community and using the best tools and talents from each distro. It is a midweight OS designed to combine an elegant and efficient desktop with simple configuration, high stability, solid performance and medium-sized footprint.

The base depends on the excellent upstream work by Linux, Debian, and Xfce. MX-14 also incorporates the independent and innovative development products Whisker Menu, simsu and gottet, QupZilla Browser, smxi and inxi."
