#2they feel themselves so cool that they don't bother explaining why one would need to use it.
is it targeted for server use? desktop? embedded system? mobile system? How is it better than anything else?
and, how long is it going to be supported and how big is the core team? (let me guess: just one developer and one user who is also the developer)

yes, I've seen it and a couple of other pages. Still there's no answer on why one would want to use it, as well as my other questions above

#6What's the logic behind these pointless distros?
"I was given access to the most amazing tools and technology humanity has ever known and was born with an incredibly ability to use them. Now I'm going to go out of my way to make it harder for others to follow in my footsteps."
It's a massive shame that such a specific and high level skill-set is squandered doing something so completely useless.

#7Some bits from the 'about' page:
1. The distribution does not provide pre-compiled packages. It only provides package building scripts .... 2. Hadron is fully free. It only contains free(free as in freedom) software. 3. As possible as up-to-date and stable.
Reading the first two points together, do I understand correctly that I cannot use the package manager to install proprietary binaries like graphics drivers? Is there room for flexibility akin to Arch's AUR setup for user-management of such packages?
What does that third point mean, exactly? Am I dealing with something closer to Debian Stable or a rolling-release system?

Distros, like IRC bots and text editors, are a popular (to use ESR's phrase) "finger exercise". It's fun; nothing more is needed.
