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.
I tried SourceMage (or Sourcerer, can't remember), and didn't even finish the install. My issue was that wanted you to compile and install everything, reboot, *THEN* update the "spell" database and recompile the new stuff. Waste of effort and time. I'm not a huge fan of Gentoo, but at least the let you update during the install so you only have to do compiles once.

Until you update 2 weeks later, that is.
