I do not recall exactly, but he was fascinated in that Sorcery keeps
Archives so you don't have to recompile, the '--fix' option of Sorcery,
the way our linux spell works (thanks to Wolfgang! :)[Gentoo has 3 kernel
spells, linux-vanilla, linux-games, and some other, I don't recall what it
was, with whatever patches the Gentoo people think they should have]).  I
think there were a few other things (such as the ease of creating new
packages), but I cannot think of them all.  Perhaps I'll get him to join
the list so he can pipe in, but he's not sure yet if he wants to switch. 
A new ISO might help.  ;)
