As others have said, the choice is really Redhat or Debian. From the 
sound of it, you've considered those, but dismissed them as for `newbies'
or something. Don't, in either system you _could_ just use the 
distribution to install a minimal system then compile all the software
you want from sourcem, but why would you want to? If you really want to
spend time compiling software then why not contribute towards Debian?
i.e. Install Debian then find something useful that's not part of
the distribution and become a package maintainer.
