+# FastestMirror Project Summary
+
+## Project Overview
+FastestMirror is a professional Go application that automatically detects Linux distributions and finds the fastest package repository mirrors. It's designed to be both technically impressive and subtly entertaining - perfect for a resume project.
+
+## Key Technical Features
+
+### 🏗️ Architecture
+- **Clean Architecture**: Organized with `cmd/`, `internal/`, and `pkg/` structure following Go best practices
+- **Modular Design**: Separate packages for distribution detection, mirror testing, and configuration management
+- **Concurrent Processing**: Uses Go goroutines for parallel mirror testing
+- **Error Handling**: Robust error handling throughout with meaningful error messages
+
+### 🔍 Distribution Detection
+- Parses `/etc/os-release`, `/etc/lsb-release`, and fallback detection methods
+- Supports major Linux families: Debian, Arch, Fedora, openSUSE, Gentoo, Alpine, etc.
+- Graceful fallback mechanisms for edge cases
+
+### ⚡ Mirror Testing Infrastructure
+- Concurrent HTTP speed testing with configurable timeouts
+- Latency measurement and download speed calculation
+- Smart scoring algorithm combining multiple metrics
+- Proper connection handling and resource cleanup
+
+### 🎨 User Experience
+- Beautiful CLI interface with colors and progress bars
+- Professional help text with subtle humor
+- Comprehensive command structure with subcommands
+- Safe operations with backup and dry-run modes
+
+### 🔧 Configuration Management
+- Safe backup creation with timestamps
+- Support for major package manager configurations
+- Atomic operations with rollback capability
+- Proper permission handling and root privilege checks
+
+## Commands Implemented
+
+### `fastestmirror find`
+- Auto-detects distribution
+- Tests mirrors concurrently
+- Shows ranked results with performance metrics
+- Configurable timeout and result count
+
+### `fastestmirror apply`
+- Requires appropriate privileges
+- Creates automatic backups
+- Applies fastest mirror safely
+- Provides post-application instructions
+
+### `fastestmirror version`
+- Shows build information
+- Displays Go version and architecture
+- Links to repository
+
+## Technical Highlights
+
+### Dependencies
+- **Cobra**: Professional CLI framework
+- **Color Libraries**: Beautiful terminal output
+- **Progress Bars**: Visual feedback during operations
+- **Standard Library**: Extensive use of Go's robust standard library
+
+### Code Quality
+- Comprehensive error handling
+- Clean separation of concerns
+- Concurrent operations with proper synchronization
+- Resource management and cleanup
+
+### Safety Features
+- Automatic configuration backups
+- Dry-run mode for testing
+- Root privilege validation
+- Rollback capabilities on failure
+
+## Subtle Humor Elements
+The project includes professional yet entertaining elements:
+- Witty error messages ("your connection might be fucked")
+- Humorous descriptions in help text
+- Satirical comments in code and documentation
+- Professional tone with personality
+
+## Resume Value
