    Different software works better with different hardware.

    God I love Debian!

    Best package-management tool around.

    And you can do whatever you want with it.

    Fedora Core 4? Please don't...

    I would recommend Arch for your situation. It has a pretty good package manager in pacman and it gets you to mess around with config files (don't worry, there is some decent documentation on their website). As a note though, it is for i686 architectures though.
