What is Source Mage?

Source Mage is a Linux distribution that emphasizes simplicity, flexibility, and customizability using source-based packages. It is designed for advanced Linux users and developers who want fine-grained control over their system.

Some key features of Source Mage include:

Installation and configuration using a simple, dependency-based package manager called "sorcery". All packages are compiled from source code rather than binaries.
Highly customizable - the user has control over which features, programs and libraries get included in the base system.
Rolling release model - packages are continually updated and integrated, no major version upgrades.
Runs entirely in RAM for speed and supports multiple architectures. Small footprint.
Advanced package management features like triggers and profiles for handling custom configurations.
Includes Linux From Scratch tools for package management.

The target audience of Source Mage is experienced Linux admins, developers and power users who want to tune their Linux distro to their exact needs and compile everything from source code. The high degree of customizability comes at the cost of complexity. It is challenging for Linux beginners.
