The 'M' came from Mephis Linux, and the 'X' from antiX' The 'anticapitalista' core lead that triggered DFS is the very same antiX maintainer. It's a little fancier and does systemd, where antiX offers runit, SysVinit, and a couple of experimental I'm using iceWM, which I am familiar with from back in the day. Fluxbox is lighter but still not bad. JWM has a distinctly 20th century feel.
