The one and only Gentoo!!!

Yeah, and if it doesn't I write my own ebuilds or just install the
cvs-versions in my homedir (which isn't needed for a lot of apps thats
for sure!).

As you do everything yourself it is you and only you who decides which
services do run and which settings are made. So you get a very slink
and lean and fast and optimised system.
And as you have to wait for every package to compile, you don't
install many packages just for fun. At least not on your
music-machine...

Altough gentoo is great for everyone willing to learn about linux or
already deeply involved, gentoo isn't a distribution for the
beginners...
