You still need a distribution to get this thing to run. Never argue with fools... They will only drag you down to their level, and beat you with experience...

They say its an "operating system" But its only a kernel+utilities. But really all they need is an installer like LFS uses and you can have your barebones linux OS. http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/intro.shtml
