ConnochaetOS, a Slackware- and Salix OS-based GNU/Linux Distribution, has announced a Release Candidate 2 for its version 14.1 after a several year hiatus.
This time it will be again a free/libre distro which contains only free software. It still focuses on lightweight usage and old computers - why there will be only a 32 bit version. To reduce the workload ConnochaetOS will be based on Slackware and Salix OS.

The versioning will follow the Slack/Salix versioning scheme to make things easier. So the next ConnochaetOS release will be version 14.1.
The ConnochaetOS website is also host to the slack-n-free repository, which provides Free Software replacements, including a linux-libre kernel, in the Slackware .t?z format.

Promising news for Free Software and Slackware fans alike.

My primary OS. LiveCD, easy to install, user-friendly. I've used Slack in the past, Salix isn't like that at all. Includes Gslapt for pre-compiled packages, and Sourcery for source packages. I haven't found anything it can't do, compared to the debs. Bonus: no PulseAudio, ALSA works great! Recommended for all except maybe complete linux novices.
