Hi all,

(1) Did you find any real advantage to compiling from source, except
that you can tweak the result by using compile options -Dxxxxx?
Nope

(2) Would you agree that Debian is the best distribution if compiling
from source should be a fallback option, and not a must?
Debian is, IMHO just the best distribution around ;-) apt-get rocks,
debian stable is wonderful for servers, testing & unstable perfectly
suit my needs for the daily workstation.
I know this one is tricky, but I am also interested in
what
distributions you use and for what reason.
Debian not only great because of apt-get, the whole philosophy behind
Debian is just biblical ;-)
Hope you've made it 'till here ;-)
Yup, I did ;-)
