One on my own computers has a disk rack made of legos as well, but I used plexiglass scraps instead of foam rubber for the walls and there's some duct tape and velco in mine as well.
I tend to do the first install using whatever the distribution uses. Cureently I'm using slackware 9.0.
After the install, I update things as needed using source. By doing this, I can set the compile options I want and have the executables set for my cpu and what I want.
I've also found that in most cases, my compiled executeables are smaller and tend to run a bit faster. For me, since I'm only using a 4 gig drive for linux, saving space where I can helps.
