Warren has announced that an updated antiX MEPIS 8.2 Public Test 1 is available on MEPIS mirrors in the testing directory and the released/antix directory. Localisation is much improved, 10 languages are fully supported, the Control Centre has been redesigned and many applications have been updated.

The MEPIS Community has started a fundraising effort to cover the server costs for its various sites. Click on the Donate button at the top of the left panel, and go to this page to read more about it. We all benefit from these Community sites, so please help if you can with any level gift!
