hey guys, ive been outta the loop for a little bit but was planning on
getting a sweet little laptop :D i was gonna slap a linux on it but wanted
one similar to gentoos portage except gentoo has a habbit of installing a
"base" package of many programs. most of which i never use or atleast to
my knowledge never use. in portage i set the optimizations and utilities i
wish to be linked/ work with everything or select ones i dont wish to be
used. such as perl and audio drivers. is there such a package manager? a
true minimalist package manager that does optimizations? im wanting it to
support the auto update like apt-get does, one command updates all
installed packages. if such a tool exists i would much appreciate a link
or name :) thanks guys.
