When I first started playing with Linux (RedHat Distribution -- Version 5.2 Deluxe), it was a present from a father's friend in Boston. As I recall that is the only version of RedHat I ever got to work correctly without any major problems (like "Kernel Segmentation Error" or something to that effect).

I don't wanna sit in front of my PC for days. Well at least for 24 to 48 hours or ... God knows how many. I agree a source based distribution is nice, but takes a serious amount of time. BTW have you tried Slackware or even FreeBSD? With FreeBSD you have ports...and since you like so much compiling from source you can do it with FreeBSD. With Slackware you'll have to do everything yourself, or, just make compile scripts and reuse them.
Gentoo, Gentoo.... BTW It is not realy faster than other distros, but could I convince a Gentoo user that? I guess no.
