Other distributions...

[Ben Ricker]

I find that the Gentoo distribution is great. See http://www.gentoo.org.
You can get lots of the latest versions of software; they are much
closer to the releases that the x86 users normally get.

Additionally, they WHOLE system can be compiled from scratch making it
highly optimizeable.
