That would be really good. As a small team we lack resources...

We will base ConnochaetOS on Arch GNU/Linux. It has a good packaging system 
(pacman) 
and package building with the Arch Building System is quite simple. It has some 
influence 
from BSD Ports (similar to Gentoo and Crux).

We will build everything new, since we want to support i586 (Arch is built for 
i686).
Additionally we will replace some components, because of footprint, stability 
or freedom.

Regards,

Henry
