Using NetBSD’s pkgsrc everywhere I can

I wonder if anyone is going to create a linux distribution with a base system baked in with pkgsrc managing the applications. It would be very useful for containers and WSL.

There used to be one, which was based on Slackware (of course). If i find the name of that distro i'll either edit this post or reply to myself :)

I tried hand-rolling something similar with slackware 11 or 12 (can't remember now).

I always liked its concept and I am surprised very few projects are using it. On NetBSD it works well, I guess NIH (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_invented_here) syndrome :(
