ConnochaetOS (formerly DeLi Linux) is an Arch-based Linux distribution for old computers, from i486 to Pentium MMX 166. It's focused on desktop usage. It includes email clients, a graphical web browser, an office package with word processor and spreadsheet. A full install, including X window system and development tools, needs no more than 300 MB of hard disk space.
ConnochaetOS, a desktop distribution based on Slackware, has recently reached version 14.1. The project's developers announced the new release on the distribution's forum: I'm happy to announce the release of ConnochaetOS 14.1. The installation ISO image comes with Kernel GNU Linux Libre 3.10.77, IceWM 1.3.7, Iceweasel 31.6.0esr libre. Compared with RC2 Icecat was replaced by Iceweasel libre because Iceweasel needs lesser resources. ConnochaetOS is a fully free/libre GNU/Linux distro for x86 computers with limited resources, based on Slackware and Salix OS. `Fully free' means, that ConnochaetOS does only contain free software and no proprietary, non-free software, blobs or firmware. Non-free parts of the upstream distros were removed and - where possible - replaced by free counterparts. ConnochaetOS retains full backwards compatibility with Slackware and Salix OS.
