-Update 2022: I am slowly reviving this project and adding arm64 compatibility
+The philosophy is to create a completely hackable Linux system, controllable by makefiles.
+  *🇸 Simple build instructions,
+  * 🇸 Standard GNU build utilitiess
+  * 🇸 Simple distribution of software.
+The system installs to a local directory, anything in there is included in the final build. Imagine [[https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/|Linux From Scratch]] but with a lot less features.
+SnackLinux runs a barebone kernel with downloadable extra kernel modules. Initially the project was created to run on old 486 CPUs with the latest software, so SnackLinux is optimized for size and low RAM.
