Bento Openbox is a simple environment for the Linux desktops used in several GNU/Linux remixes provided here. It is easy to use while very light on the computer’s resources.

It is built with a few selected programs, some of which have been developed over a decade, in the PCLinuxOS remasters from 2009 to 2011, then in Ubuntu remixes starting 2012, then lately in antiX Linux starting 2020.

The Openbox environment requires less RAM and processor power than most Linux distributions intended for a wide audience.
Several versions are available, such as Ubuntu Openbox Remix, built on top of the latest LTS and fit to use on computers equipped with a 64bits CPU.

The antiX Linux distribution (https://antixforum.com) is used as a basis to provide an i486 edition for some of the very old computers, one i686 PAE edition for some less old computers, and an x86_64 edition for all 64bits capable machines.

antiX Linux is a very user friendly and light GNU/Linux distribution. It does not make use of SystemD, although SystemD could be installed to replace the old init system if it were necessary. Also antiX relies on the Debian repositories to provide users with a large number of packages.

Whereas antiX Linux comes with several light desktop environments for the user to choose, Bento antiX provides a single one, built around the Openbox Window Manager ( http://openbox.org/wiki/Main_Page ) which is simple to use and customize to your liking.

Bento antiX editions, as of January 2022, are all smaller than 700MB. Larger versions will be made available in the near future, in order to provide out of the box comfort with common software for the everyday use.
