FermiOS Lightweight

The main purpose of this project is to bring back to life PCs made up of old pieces of hardware and turn them into the Swiss-Army knife of ICT students. We are also concerned about the environmental issues that our world is facing in the last few years, for that reason we made lowering computers' carbon footprint our secondary mission. By building a lightweight Linux distribution, perfectly suitable to the needs of the average sysadmin, we hope to spread the pleasure of minimal operating systems and sustainable computing.
