If you are looking for a more source code based system than the canned stuff Canonical puts out, take a look at Arch Linux. I put Slack, Arch and Gentoo into the same category, and love Slackware because the install from scratch is easy and works so well. It looks like there is a Archlinux Arm build out for the Pi, so you could maybe be the guinea pig on testing it out for us :)
