I came across Server optimized Linux a few weeks ago and have been trying it out. It's a really cool distribution! Some of the neat things about it are that programs which run as services (apache, bind, etc.) are in their own directory in /, which makes it much easier to secure if you're using an ACL system (I personally like grsecurity). Another nice feature is that configuration files are xml-formatted, and are all together in a config directory in /etc. The distribution has its own initialization scripts, but it works pretty nice. So, if you have an extra machine around (or vmware), give it a shot. (Note that everything on the install disc is compiled for i686 machines; it couldn't install on an AMD-K6.)
