It's Debian, Gentoo-style. Completely Debian, automatic (Debian) source compilation, with control like Gentoo, but completely optional, unlike Gentoo. > I don't mean to be patronising or critical, it's just I don't understand :) That's OK! > Doesn't debian already have source packages?

We want to add automatic setup to build any and all Debian packages. > I moved from debian to gentoo myself, over a year ago.

Dselect sucks but apt is still better than straight RPMs! No more dependancy heck. Free updates. I've even added Apt to my RH servers (: I liked Gentoo's control and performance advantages but didn't like recompiling EVERYTHING (yes I know some things are now precompiled). And I liked many of Debian's features, so the concept is Debian with Gentoo's sweet performance style! I only announced it here in case there were any ex-Deb users (or curious Gentoo users) who left because "Debian didn't doo dat." ===== /dev/idal "GNU/Linux is free freedom" --Me __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
