The Linux distribution itself isn't that important, IMHO. Spend some time
selecting the right filesystem (check the archives for threads on this
topic), the right kernel (and perhaps compiling your own from scratch),
perhaps some kernel tuning (I/O scheduler, etc.), and so forth.

Not compilation options, but there are plenty of configuration settings
you should be tweaking to ensure good performance. You can find a list
of configuration options here:
