re all,

hope your time is good, here below an announcement of a new 100% free
GNU/Linux distribution aimed at running on minimal hardware, just
starting development from the hashes of Deli...
worth keeping an eye on i guess, cheers!

meanwhile fruity is hacking hard to update to dyne:bolic 2.6 and we
are setting the foundations of dyne:III ... later on this year there
will be some movement again!

ciao

Subject: [GNU-linux-libre] Introducing ConnochaetOS

Hello,

I am Henry, a 40 year old computer engineer from Germany. I am using
free software since 1999 and created the "DeLi GNU/Linux" distribution
in 2002.

Altough the last release of DeLi is more than 2 years old there is
still an active community. So we, a small team, decided to create a
successor project, this time as entirely free software.

ConnochaetOS will be a free operating system for the desktop with old
computers in mind but with modern software. The name ConnochaetOS
derives from "Connochaetes", the scientific name for
"Gnu". ConnochaetOS will contain only free software, according to the
GNU Guidelines for Free System Distributions. We aim for minimal
hardware requirements, as low as a Pentium I processor and 64 MB RAM
for a graphical desktop.

The web site will be at http://www.connochaetos.org

As usual with such projects we are searching for any help and
resources for hosting.
