First look at Antix - kernel 6.6.somethin.somthin.smp WTF?!

It's been years since I've seen IceWM and then to find that Antix is based on Debian with Runit init system I thought I'd entered Valhalla.... then I saw the kernel and froze. Wait! haven't I see you before.. like 20 FRIGGIN YEARS AGO. Someone please help me understand what the HELL be going on.
