Just wanted to drop a line with everyone here at OCforums to let you know I have teamed up with the folks developing Yoper Linux. Give the distro a try and let me know what you think so I can discuss your requests with the other developers. For those curious people out there, this is what Andreas (the main developer) has done to make Yoper the fastest "out-of-the-box" distribution:
0.) Performance patches from Con Kolivas, i686 2.6.7 kernel, reiserfs
1.) All original sources, minimal patches.
2.) Compiled with i686 against latest gcc
3.) Stripping
4.) Prelinking
5.) Latest gcc and glibc and other sources
6.) Keep everything only dependent to what it really needs not what the ./configure happens to find.
7.) Hdparm on install
All things you can do with other distros, but it requires knowledge and a lot of time. And if you reinstall them, the result is gone. Instead, if you do a quick Yoper install (minutes is all it takes), you can have a really fast and fully functional distribution running on your desktop in no time. There are different install options for either a minimal (base) or desktop (bloat) system.

Here are some speed comparisons- http://www.yoper.com/forum2/index.php?showtopic=953
I know we have a big following of gentoo linux here, so I'm asking you guys to especially compare and let me know what you think of Yoper.
PS. Yoper is an abbreviation for Your Operating System. We offer optimized binaries easily installable with apt-get or synaptic.
