    Hi. I want to rephrase one of my questions.

    Is there some way I can browse your repositories so I can check what is available and decide whether antiX is adequate for me BEFORE I INSTALL ANTIX?

    I assumed that the part where I say “decide whether antiX is adequate for me” would be enough to make it clear that I want to browse the repositories BEFORE I decide whether I want to install the OS or not. Now I see it was not.

    Mea culpa. Mea maxima culpa.

    So package repository browsers that run on the OS after the OS is intalled are not what I want.

    Someone mentioned http://repo.antixlinux.com

    But that is unbrowseable.

    You see, I started out in Linux in 2001 with a distro that is extinct now that always had a master list of all packages that we could download and grep for wanted packages.

    You see, Arch has a search engine where I can just enter names and see what is available.

    If antiX has anything like that, it would be terribly useful to me right now. If it doesn’t, that’s OK. Most distros don’t.

    Thank you.
