The purpose of this review is to provide some additional exposure to source-based Linux distributions in general, and
Sorcerer in particular. We've been using Sorcerer where I work since January of this year and have been completely satisfied with the experience. Hopefully this review will give you a good idea of why we use Sorcerer, and it may move you to try it yourself. I'm no systems adminstrator, so if I can install and work with Sorcerer, most people with a little Linux experience will be able to also.
THe sorcerer website might install GPL programs but the actual package management system is not open.
If they have an open-style license they should proudly display it on the website.
The fact that the entire site neglects to mention their license I take as a sign that they are
a) still not open to users input
b) still not open to having developers discuss their code
I used sorcerer, but switched to Source Mage when sorcerer was removed from the internet overnight. That is not what someone does when they want valuable input from users and want users to become actively involved in the project developement.
