Wizards assemble !
Advanced users of GNU/Linux (and I mean advanced), remember to try Source Mage GNU/Linux. True source-based distribution, and (in contrast with Gentoo and Arch) is:
Free from obfuscated and pre-configured code.
Fully committed to GPL, uses only free software (as in freedom) in their main package.
With even the documentation licensed as FDL.
Without 3rd party patches, sensible defaults or masked packages.
Doesn't need obfuscated python libraries, only bash.
Uses clean dependencies as they came from upstream developers, which by the same provides instant updates.
Can heal broken installs.
Can also use flags.
Do you like Arch Linux's AUR? Do you like Gentoo's portage (or ports-like) package manager? With SMGL's "sorcery" you get all that. Making new spells (packages) not found in the grimoire (repository) is easy http://sourcemage.org/Spell/Book
Bash hackers welcome! Come and join http://sourcemage.org/

The kernel, blame Torvalds

>blame Torvalds
Why? Other than the fact that 99% of all the current users would switch to another distro, what's stopping SMGL from using linux-libre?
>>
>>61538868
Good question, I wonder if any of the devs have a spell for linux-libre in their repository. Maybe they do, idk.

Go ask in irc if they could use linux libre kernel instead of vanilla

Last smgl thread was pretty cool. I'm glad it's here again.
