 Over the years I upgraded computers, making the leap into multi gigahertz territory. Those old single core days were over. But I still held onto those computers, I guess for nostalgia. Over the years I upgraded computers, making the leap into multi gigahertz territory. Those old single core days were over.

-In that same Linux Format magazine, I learned about [[https://www.delilinux.org/DeLi Linux]]: a distribution made for low end computers. One of the computers I had kept in my collection was a Pentium I, running at 133mhz with 64MB of RAM. It had an incredibly small hard drive, installed with Windows 3.11. DeLi Linux installed easily and run just as well, LILO is always such a breeze to install with as it is.+In that same Linux Format magazine, I learned about [[https://www.delilinux.org/|DeLi Linux]]: a distribution made for low end computers.

 I wanted newer software with DeLi Linux, and compiling on such an slow machine would be pure torture, I decided to keep looking for a distro just like it. I stumbled upon [[https://distrowatch.com/?newsid=04240|Delicate Linux]] ([[https://archiveos.org/delicate/|Mirror]]), which was based off of DeLi Linux.Either by source or in spirit, I can't remember. I began contributing package builds to the community, for popular software too. There's nothing like the joy of contributing to open source software. After a while I became a bit frustrated with the project, and eventually it spun off to another distro entirely, [[https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=connochaet|ConnochaetOS]]. Seeing the community interact, it occurred to me how actually straightforward it would be to build my own distro (and potentially a community haha). I wanted newer software with DeLi Linux, and compiling on such an slow machine would be pure torture, I decided to keep looking for a distro just like it.
