If you're going to be running Gentoo, might as well go all out with the -O3 -msse3 -mfpmath=sse -march=exact_cpu_model_here -fexpensive-optimizations -finsane-optimizations -foptimizations-that-really-dont-work-but-i-want-them-anyway Then there's good old <a href="http://www.debian.org/" rel="nofollow">Debian</a>. Rock stable like the North American craton. Releases are scheduled on geologic time, too. Good for lazy server admins. Heh.

It claims to be lightweight, which probably means you have a small hard-drive and I pity you. Also, it doesn't seem to have a very widely used package system (Pacman, wtf?!), so it may be harder to find ArchLinux packages for whatever you want to install. The remedy? Install from source... and you're back to what Slackware has to offer. #1: Slackware.
