Updated hourly actually, I'll gather everything up and collate it in a
semi-intelligent manner sometime within the next month or so.

Austin also does BSD -> Linux backports in his spare time. (Eg: the BSD-
fileutils that's been sitting on the backburner for a while).

*Cough choke gasp* Since Debian uses bianry packages, it doen't qualify
for this title. (Although I do see where you're coming from).  Take a look
at ROCK/GFL/et al which basically say "here's a system that boots and lets
you compile stuff, get to work" ;-) (the BUILD project that I'm working on now
takes this further to the point where it is basically "here is the source tree
patch the Makefiles and components for whatever optimisation/debugging options
you like and rebuild it yourself" ;-)[1]
