+ Metro is a build tool that can build, rebuild or extend Sabayon Linux or
+ Gentoo Linux OS releases OpenVZ templates and stage4 tarballs.
+ It doesn't contain any specific package manager bit and can work with
+ your favourite one. The philosophy of Molecule is simple: ease of use and
+ modularity.
+ Just like Catalyst, Molecule uses its own .spec file format and learning
+ how to write one is just about reading examples provided inside
+ /usr/share/molecule/examples.
+ You can tweak your ISO image or create one off your chroot (stage4) in no
+ time. Molecule uses a plugin-based system to implement support for new
+ execution patterns (like ISO to ISO, ISO to Tar, Chroot to ISO, etc).
+ Molecule is born inside Sabayon and is used in its release cycle for both
+ daily(live) and versioned ISO images.
+ Molecule developers are looking for help for writing user docs and HOWTOs.
