2.4 kernel, i386
Minimum 300MB HD, 8MB RAM (14MB with GUI).
Recommended 64MB and 2GB.
Still alpha.  300MB iso means you need a hard drive bigger than this 
unless you are installing from CD.

Lots of packages (not including TOR).  gtk 2.1, icewm....
uclibc based.  I may try it on the Compaq 486 someone gave us recently.

Their site has a link to Delilinux's other successor, 
http://www.conochaetos.org, which supports i586, 64MB RAM, 2GB 2.6 or 3.2 
kernel.  Based on Arch Linux.
