I am running Gentoo Linux with mad CFLAGS. It is the best distro.

Well, good for you if you got everything to compile, although most of the more volatile (read: poorly-written) packages override user CFLAGS now, I think. I'm happy with "-march=nocona -O2 -pipe" myself, but the ability to customize is one of the many benefits of Free software.
Now let's see how long before someone posts "LOL GENTOO RICER FAGS FUNROLL-LOOPS CFLAGS JUST KICKED IN."

NO UR THE NOOB WE UES CFLAGS U JUST USE BINARY PAKAGES THAT ARE FOR THIRYT OLD COMPUTARS WITH SPEED LIMITS WHIEL I GO VROOM VROOM WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
You really know it... Arch Linux is the best distro available.
The speed of Gentoo, the simpleness of Slackware and a packagemanager that kicks ass. And the Arch Build System for tweaking existing packages with custom build-options and stuff and creating new packages easily.
Yoohoo!
MY COMPLETELY OBSCURE LUNIX DISTROBATION IS LIKE SUPERIOR TO YOUR TOTALLY UNKNOWN DISTRO

I host my server on Gentoo because it is fast. My lighttpd will smoke any crappy apache you got from a BINARY .deb!

My Gentoo Solitaire is faster than your BINARY piece of crap. I compiled it with -O9 -m64 -march=athlon64 -malign-double -funroll-all-loops -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-exceptions -fforce-mem -fforce-addr -fexpensive-optimizations -fmove-all-movables -fno-strength-reduce -mno-accumulate-outgoing-args .
You forgot -fno-rtti. Also, there are no optimization levels above -O3.
I'd also consider -fdata-sections and -ffunction-sections, my benchmarks have shown a slight speed increase. They may break compilation though, so don't use them then (or rather, fix the code, as it is likely wrong then).
-malign-double is good when it works.

You are all fucking losers for not using LDFLAGS. That's where real men optimize.

You got that right, the new -bdirect flag looks nice, but I don't think my binutils are updated enough >_<
enjoy wasting money on hardware with your slow-ass distro

I installed Arch last night. It's fucking shit! I used pacman to install irssi, irssi wouldn't start because perl wasn't installed. So I had to pacman -S perl. What happened to dependency handling? Give me one good reason why I should use Arch instead of, say, Debian, which is known for its ability to actually handle deps most of the time.

I'm on gentoo right now. honestly? it's sucking enormous amounts of ass. I'm glad it's on a virtual machine, and I didn't destroy an actually USEFUL os off my computer to try it out.
