Gentoo A project to create embedded versions of Gentoo Linux has achieved preliminary releases on x86, MIPS, PPC, and ARM. The releases include native core system binaries, cross-platform toolchains, and, for x86, an optional hardened toolchain. The year-old project needs developers to help add cross-compile awareness to source packages.

Actually yes, the Gentoo guys are always releasing tweaked, high-performance kernels.

Gentoo is fast....really fast....as in visibly faster than any other distro I've ever used.

I love Gentoo, I distro-jumped for years until trying it, now I couldn't imagine using anything else.

Portage is *great* and always getting better...I prefer it to any other package manager I've used, including apt.
