Dismal AntiX M8.5 install

Got the itch again, and attempted to replace my existing Knoppix 6.2 with this distro but testing its capabilities for painless auto-detection of my Huawei e160 broadband modem and making it share the Internet connection with my other computers proved frustrating.

Checking the free memory during its idle state via:

free -m -t

reported around 80mb used. Touted as a lightweight distro, it didn't come close to matching Knoppix 56mb record, though.

So it was a no-go, with me ending up a bit more faith and happier to keep Knoppix (for now).
