Title: One very satisfied user
I hope this doesn't come across as brown-nosing or insincere, but I wanted to let everyone know how much fun I've had playing with SourceMage and what a great distro it is:
-- It's a great way to flex my machine's muscles
I built a new machine a couple of months ago and was searching for a way to put it through its paces when I found some info on SourceMage. What better way to use CPU cycles and a broadband internet connection? People just shake their heads when I tell them I can compile the kernel in 5-7 minutes (50% of the people shake their heads because they have no idea what I'm saying, 25% shake their heads because they think I'm insane, and the other 25% are just jealous).
-- It's a wonderful way to learn about Linux
I had been running RedHat for about 4 years, so I was fairly familiar with Linux in general but I had never compiled the kernel or done any serious mods. Now I'm a veteran at compiling the kernel, I've installed and configured alsa-drivers (which, I think, puts me in the higher echelons of experienced Linux users :-)), and I can say that every program installed on my Linux partition has been natively compiled. That's just too cool.
Again, I just wanted to thank you all for your work and effort and let you know that there is at least one user who is _extremely_ satisfied.
Cory
P.S. When I get more time I plan to help out where I can.
