Part of my move to Ubuntu was because I saw some good people at Gentoo
checking out Ubuntu so I thought it must be decent. :-) I popped onto that
IRC room and voiced this opportunity. Somebody mentioned NGO in a box. I
have yet to check it out, but if I understand correctly it is a distro
packaging together tools. I'm hoping they've found some things I haven't
found.
