Hi, developer of ConnochaetOS here.
- Hardware requirements were released with RC1, see
https://forum.connochaetos.org/viewtopic.php?id=13
- Yes, the distro was discontinued, but was brought back - this time not
build entirely from scratch but based on repos of Slackware and Salix,
because building an entire distro from scratch is too time-consuming.
- It still would be nice to get the FSF approval, but I don't think I will
actively apply for one again
- Freeslack is 64 bit only, ConnochaetOS is 32 bit only (although I maintain
a 64 bit flavor of the slack-n-free repo), so they complement each other.
There are also some differences regarding non-free and libre packages. I use
freeslack's list of non-free packages plus the list from libreplanet plus
Parabola's blacklist to exclude non-free packages. Additionally ConnochaetOS
provides libre replacements where possible (e. g. the entire Mozilla product
line).
Please feel free to join the ConnochaetOS forum, since discussing other
distros is a little off-topic here :)
