Hi all,

I'm currently using Gentoo (which I generally do not enjoy because of
its obtrusive package manager), and I want to change. Can someone
provide some general information about sourcemage, for instance, which
kernel it supports at the moment, which version of gnome is it using,
and any other helpful package information?

I was unable to locate any of this information on the Web site. If I
missed it, perhaps someone can point me to it.

Our current linux package lets you choose which kernel you want, which
patches you want, how you want it updated, and if it should update
your bootloader for you. The kernel currently has options for kernels
2.0-2.6, patchsets -mm, -ck, -cko, -love, -ac, bootsplash, fbsplash,
and many more. It is relatively easy to add more patches and versions
of you require them. More information can be found at
http://www.sourcemage.org/howto-linux. Our distribution supports
kernels 2.0 through 2.6 as well (if you use static /dev), for 2.4+ we
support static, devfs, and udev management of /dev, but prefer udev if
you're using a 2.6 kernel.

For GNOME and other packages we have a listing at
http://codex.sourcemage.org/listing.html. The latest beta of GNOME is
being worked on by our GNOME Guru and will hit test once the final
version is released.

We're currently in the process of moving our documentation from
http://wiki.sourcemage.org/ to http://www.sourcemage.org/docs, so you
can look in either for more information. You may be interested in the
following links: http://www.sourcemage.org/faq-gentoo,
http://www.sourcemage.org/faq-sample_cast, and
http://www.sourcemage.org/faq-sorcery.

If you have any more questions feel free to ask here or on
irc://irc.freenode.net/sourcemage (#sourcemage on irc.freenode.net).
