This is my custom GNU/Linux distribution that runs on my home Dell Precision T5400, optimized for its Core 2 based Xeon X5450 processor. It is inspired by Josh Devan's Core Linux Distribution, using an updated release of Devan's CorePKG. This distribution requires the user to manually configure, compile, and install applications, and expects the user to consult man pages and other documentation. It is also a pure 64-bit system (no multilib).

Installation

These instructions are incomplete, but should be sufficient:

Download, burn, and boot the Live ISO image
Partition, format, and mount the hard drive
Run 'install_core [mount point of hard drive]'
Optional packages in /pkgs/optional/ and /pkgs/extras/ can be installed with corepkg(8)
To build a custom kernel, copy the source from /pkgs/kernel/ to [mount point]/usr/src/
Run 'chroot [mount point] bash -l' to chroot into the new system
Compile and install the Linux kernel (be sure to run grub-install [HDD])
Review and modify the files under /etc/ and /boot/grub/
Exit the chroot, reboot, and start constructing the new system.

If you use this distribution, let me know. A small community exists on FreeNode, IRC channel #sgos.
