After reading that the best I can suggest for source distros is 
installing a very basic system and using the BSD portage system.  I've 
had the pleasure of using it under Solaris (its called Zoularis) and it 
works very well.

I nearly got involved in Sorcerery(sic)/Source-Mage, but got really 
turned off when I saw the code - 3000 lines without error checking, 
everything hard-coded, etc.
