Well, is "Spartin" what your looking for?  If you are, or if you just want 
to control what goes on your box...at a very fine grain level, give 
Gentoo a whirl.  Presently, I'm building a Gentoo workstation.  I really 
like it so far.  The software install and update system is a lot like 
the Free/Net/OpenBSD package system, but even slicker.

I had trouble with that too, and OpenBSD was my first foray into the 
*BSD relm.  Needless to say, I had fun on that steep learning curve.

The more I try different Linux distros, and tinker with the *BSD 
variants, I realize that each have fine qualities.  I don't there 
is any one "best" distro.  They all have a place...and we as 
unix connoisseurs are fortunate to have so many choices.
