Eric Sandall Interview (Mage Power)

Mage Power talks with Eric Sandall, Grimoire Lead at Source Mage GNU/Linux. "Would you please explain what the Grimoire is? A grimoire is a complete container of spells, their sections, and supporting scripts (such as account management) necessary for the spells to function. We have multiple official grimoires: z-rejected for binary-only and non-OSI licenses, games for the majority of games, test is the up-to-date grimoire where packages are first released for wide testing, stable-rc is where we have a snapshot of test to prepare for a new stable release, and the stable grimoire has some testing done to it to verify packages work and is the most bug-free release. There is no one grimoire, but rather multiple grimoires each providing a different selection. A few unofficial grimoires are maintained by various developers with packages they are working on and one hosted on the SMGL servers is xorg-modular, where we're working on integrating the newest X.org release process into our main grimoire."

Sounds like Gentoo with pointy hats.
