Source Mage GNU/Linux
Source Mage GNU/Linux is a source-based Linux distribution based on a magical metaphor of "casting" and "dispelling" programs, which are referred to as "spells". In multi-tasking style, it downloads the sources in the background while compiling in the foreground. Source Mage's "sorcery" offers advanced package management, but retains the choices, options, and control not offered by many other distributions.

Changes: A "dependency" scheme was added to make sure you don't accidentally skip a vital step or do things in the wrong order. You can still override dependencies if you really know what you're doing. Spells are now installed in the background while you are busy selecting options. Software RAID support via mdadm was added.
