i really want to consider rolling my own linux distribution, for personal use that is. I *really* like debian but it is antiquated.

Personally, every time I went to roll-my-own, I kept coming back to Debian. RYO just has too much overhead to stay current. Plus I'd like to know how it's "antiquated" :)

My solution will be apt on slackware.

...and then you'll require either dpkg or rpm, and then you're just duplicating work. You may as well just apt-get -b source all your packages, it'll save a lot of hassle.

Then again, if it's what you want to do, don't let my opinions stop you :)

ReadMe certified me as Journeyer. I'm flattered, but I'm not so sure I deserve it :)

I've spent the last ${rand} days working on an OpenGL visualiser for GPG trust webs, called gpgl. I expect I'll have some tarballs available within a week, once I get a few annoying bugs ironed out.

I'll keep my opinions to myself, because they're strong, and this isn't the forum.
