Source Mage

Source Mage GNU/Linux is a recent Linux distribution. It is the result of developers picking up the pieces when Kyle Sallee, originator of Sorcerer GNU/Linux, attempted to kill the distribution (which had already produced a fork, Lunar Linux).

In Source Mage, each package is called a "spell" and is "cast" on the computer. Casting a spell consists of downloading the source code (if it is not already downloaded), checking for dependencies, casting them if necessary, compiling the program, and installing it. The set of spells is called a "grimoire".
