I've been running SGL on my Inspiron for a month now, and have the same impression as the author. It took a really long time to install, but was educational and rather fun. Some discouraging news near the bottom about how the maintainer needs some development help, or it will be the end of Sorcerer. This is one of the most exciting new distros to come along in a long time, and that would be a shame."

Well, unless you're absolutely bound to the Linux kernel for some reason (hardware support and the like), you can get something very similar from the Net or OpenBSD products.

(FreeBSD is probably similar as well, but I haven't tried it.)

Just do a basic install of the system from the network, and then use the ports/package system to add what you want.
