are there other portage distros?


Are there other distros out there besides gentoo that use portage (or can)? I like gentoo but it's too difficult to set up, which i'll have to do now because i wiped my drive to get the easier-to-use mandrake, which is a turd sandwich.

Portage is a unique system to Gentoo.

However, Debian and FreeBSD also have good package managment systems you might want to take for a spin.

in my incessant googling, I found VLOS! http://desktop.vidalinux.com

i can't install it though, my video card won't work on the "download version" .iso, which makes me very sad....
