As with Linux Live scripts that allow you to creat a live linux media 
from almost any source, it would extremely cool to have a 
"metadistribution" that would allow one to create Instant-Anything from 
source packages. :-) I got an average 50% performance boost with Ruby 
interpreter just with using proper GCC switches on my Sempron 2500+ 
machine. The same for Rails, the "hello world" page (i mean the RoR 
welcome screen) througput was 130% higher. (I'm sure this is no measure 
of real performance, but I'm sure it _will_ be noticeable as well.) And 
you could alway get the latest package versions - Ruby, Rails, DB. 
Sounds nice to me. :-)))
