That is a very beautiful number!

That one sounds like still some work to be done... it mentions
Gentoo. In fact I was very impressed by Liberte' Linux which
you can git clone and make and it will produce an iso out of
gentoo portage.

In the case of liberte it will use whatever system you are on
until it is ready to chroot into its own environment and
possibly recompile itself from the inside. I was impressed at
how it just ran through flawlessly. Also I was surprised at
the little amount of code I had to skim through before trying it,
since it mostly uses gentoo tools.
Maybe we should produce debian out of gentoo... :)
Thanks for the time to update.
Keep up the excellent work.
