But the last time I took a look not even an installer or such. + Gentoo has no support for custom modifications not even thinking about a way to group such custom modifications / build configuration into a well defined way to form a distribution. + ROCK Linux has a real sandbox build environment, not this optimization via CFLAGS, and so on Gentoo wannabe.
ROCK Linux is a build kit, allowing to define a set configurations / modifications to create e.g. special embedded or server distributions without the need to repackage all the packages and writing a build script for those ... And when you read some ebuild scripts you find the ROCK Linux automatics and tag based ASCI package description format very pleasant, e.g.:
