I think all this discussion on wether to use sources or binaries is
quite useless. we aim to build a system on which everyone can choose
his/her way to go.

anyway, this kind of discussion can be eternal. otherwise there wouldn't
be any division between Debian and Gentoo ;)

the way we're trying to concieve the whole thing a GNU/Linux port is
unthinkable, because we need a lot of filesystem interfaces to work.
