Pros
Pro Can create your own iso (snapshot) and use it either as live-session and install back when needed.
With the (pre-installed) Snapshot tool you can easily create an iso of your running system and then write it on a usb (or other media) and use "your own" distro as live session or install back whenever you like (even on a different pc with different specs with no issues) or even give that customized iso to friends (selecting "non-personal" iso when creating the snapshot; thus resetting the accounts & passwords and Home folder etc..).. Awesome !
Also you can write that iso directly encrypted via antiX Live Usb Maker tool ... (Again you can install antiX encrypted during installation with just ticking a box.. no matter it's the official iso or your snapshot)
Pro Very fast
Even with Atom or 10 years old Intel dual core, it runs fast ! Don't throw away your old PC or laptop or netbook .
Pro Boots Fast(est) on Live-Session
After Puppy Linux (which's aimed to run from Ram and which is smaller in size) the second fastest (head & shoulders) booting distro (together with the sister project MX ) and has the option "toram" to run from ram.. (Yes, even far more faster than small sized or tiny distros)
