'Ports' for all

[Gontran]

Question: 
--------
JLF was talking about something called 'open-ports' a new
project to bring the BSD ports system to other NIX platforms. Is there
a URL or a place to read more about it?  

Search on google turned up all the wrong goodies, and sourceforge doesn't 
seem to have an entry that I can find.

Giddy Excitement:
-----------------
There is a pre 1.0 gnu/linux distro called 'Gentoo Linux' 
(http://www.gentoo.org) that offers an attempt (first?) at a ports collection 
for linux.  

It works great.  

Really, this is not an overstatement.  Having used, and loved, ports on 
OpenBSD, I can say it's comparable. 

It  really  is  grand.  I heartily recommend it.

Also if you're interested in developing and potentially playing a key role
in an up and coming distro, CVS access is just a few well done contributions 
away.

Cheers,
Gontran
