    From interview: it started as a research project. The author wanted a distribution that uses the least system resources with maximum performance.
    He started with archlinux, moved on to gentoo and to go even deeper - found the infamous “linux from scratch” and started to shape his own distro.

          The reason Linux is such a big deal is that it was the one of dozens that didn’t fail. This is ignorable.

            By your logic, you cannot dismiss the project for being a personal one. Only if it fails, is it dismissable.
