A short time ago, a friend of mine pointed me to a very new distribution called Sorcerer Linux: http://www.distrowatch.com/review-sorcerer.php Sounded very BSDish with the compile-from-source philosophy. I haven't actually worked with this distribution, so I'm not endorsing it. Just passing along the link because prior to this point, I had never heard of it!
