    If you really want to get into the guts of Linux, and you are not afraid of the command line, you should try Gentoo.
    Stage1 if you have a good proc and a lot of ram.

    Gentoo would be a really pro distro (from what I have heard). Slackware is also a good choice.

    Arch would definitely be in that category.

    Gentoo, Arch and Iam sure there are others can be hard to install. But they will be optimized for that system.
