- Toggle-on the firewall in the control center (under Network)
- Choose the "DSL File Restore" op in the middle of the main menu
- Update the system (Software->Manage Packages in control center, yes to run update, then no to not run it again, then arrow-up twice & enter to upgrade the packages it found, & Continue)
- Skim /usr/share/dsl/FAQ/index.html if you haven't, but, *more* importantly for a new user, read the antiX FAQ will (/usr/share/antiX/FAQ/index.html)
Personally, I would also install the ad blocking while you're in the package manager (search for advert-block-antix) and run that (it will appear under Network in the control center after you install it).
thanks for the tip. i was on the look out for a decent ad blocker as sometimes they help speed up internet a little,
can you recommend a good media player? i normally use vlc on my desktop
