hi,
I would like help building a free gentoo (portage) / solaris (nexenta distro) based distro with the best open source packages.
This may involve building the packages from source.
I'd like the new distro made into a downloadable cd/dvd iso.
Currently if a user want's the gentoo portage package system they have to follow a tutorial after installing a solaris based distro.
The tutorial is here:

k3b
opera
gftp
kmail
