Arch Linux is geared up to do this, pretty much.

  Yep, am considering debian, ArchLinux, gentoo. Ofcourse building all the packages i need on top of the base. Right now, that's how the priority stands, but might move up ArchLinux.

    Gentoo is fantastic until you realise you are wasting ages compiling everything.

I bought a new laptop a few days ago. Ubuntu 12.04 makes it useable. I have multitouch laptop you cann't believe how much productive I am when I learned to use the few built in gestures and started making my own. It is very fast. It came with Windows 7 which made it just dog ugly and slow, but then, I only had the default Windows installation for 2 hours ..

I was the same, made the jump to awesome wm instead (because I heard it had better multihead support (3 screens here) although I'm sure there is little in it) and couldn't be happier
