That's an interesting idea.

Not really.

You should start using it. Build five or ten stages. Pick a hardware<= br> that you want to build for, and start from the example stage spec
files installed together with catalyst.

You will need good knowledge and understanding of Gentoo, portage,
USE flags and so on, to quickly absorb most of what catalyst is
about.
