I haven't played with it yet but Sorcery GNU Linux
may be what you are looking for.  It is a a source
based Linux distro.  There was a review recently
on DistroWatch.com. 
http://www.distrowatch.com/review-sorcerer.php

DistroWatch.com may be a resouce you should utilize
it has links/information/news about virtually every
linux distro. 

Other source-based distro's you may want to look into
are Gentoo Linux, Rock Linux and LinuxFromScratch
(which I think somone recently mentioned).

enjoy,
