This is what I want in a distro

[Soldierboy]

-The community and ease of use of Ubuntu
-The blingtasticness of OpenSuse
-The stability of Debian Stable
-The development tools of Redhat
-The speed of Puppy
-The hardware-detection of Knoppix

So someone please, sit down and bang out that distro for me. Thx.

Why don't you use an LTS release of Xubuntu with a lightweight window manager? After a few months, an LTS becomes quite stable, a minimal WM will boost your speed (Xfce and Openbox are both recommended), appearance is completely customizable in any DE/WM, and you still get the Ubuntu community.

i think the OP wants the 'perfect' linux distro that does everything he wants out-the-box.

Sure, and I'd like to believe in the Tooth Fairy... :)

Wow! :)

Stability, speed and blinginess seem almost universally contradictory to me. But then, I have an old computer.

There is no such distro.

Yes but, alas, I know it is not to be so. A boy can dream though. :)

Oh, and I've tried LFS, it was an awesome learning experience and quite a pain in the rear. I got very close to having it boot too.

You want the moon on a stick.

I believe that will be OSX minus the openess and perhaps the community part??

Yes, actually, OSX is pretty close. Although, besides what you already mentioned, OSX also lacks the level of configuration that I like + the linux kernel....hmmm.....probably isn't that close now I think on it.
