Project developers refer to MX Linux as "…a family of operating systems that are designed to combine elegant and efficient desktops with high stability and solid performance." The MX project began as a collaboration between the former MEPIS community (M) and the antiX Linux developers (X). MX Linux is best known for its smart collection of admin tools, some developed internally by MX and some inherited from the antiX community. Examples of the MX tools include:

MX Tweak – a curated collection of settings for customizing the desktop environment
MX Boot Options – a graphical utility that lets you configure the GRUB boot menu
MX Cleanup – An easy-to-use tool with several options for purging old files and freeing disk space
Bash Config – a handy GUI for managing aliases, prompts, and other Bash settings

The MX Linux version included on this DVD is the flagship Xfce edition.
