MX Linux 19.4 - DVD

Now using Ritek Pro 60+ year archival quality DVDs.

Version 19.4 release date:  April 1, 2021 (Release Notes)

NOTE: This distro comes on a DVD.

MX Linux relies on the excellent upstream work by Linux and the open-source community, deploying Xfce4 as Desktop Environment on top of a Debian Stable base. We draw from the core antiX system and include work and ideas used by Warren Woodford for his MEPIS project. Ongoing backports and outside additions to our repos serve to keep components current with developments.

What's New in 19.4

MX-19.4 is the fourth refresh of our MX-19 release, consisting of bugfixes and application updates since our original release of MX-19. If you are already running MX-19, there is no need to reinstall. Packages are all available thru the regular update channel.
