The development team behind the Debian-based antiX MX GNU/Linux distribution announced the immediate availability for download of the first point release of the antiX MX-16 "Metamorphosis" series.

The antiX MX-16 "Metamorphosis" operating system series launched last year in mid-December based on the Debian GNU/Linux 8.6 "Jessie" distribution, but without the systemd init system. This release defaults to sysVinit init system, and it's using a highly customized, lightweight Xfce 4.12.2 desktop environment.

Being the first maintenance update, antiX MX-16.1 adds a few notable changes, such as the implementation of experimental support for encrypted home folders in the installer, UEFI support in the autoinstall feature of the installer, as well as a fix for an issue with partition boot flags affecting various Dell computers.
