I have ubuntu on one of my computers. Very sluggish (I forget which GUI I have). Anyway, I am looking for a command-line only distro. The main requirement is speed. The only app I run on it is CherryPy. I would also love a replacement for vi (no matter how much I use it, I can never remember how to do anything with it, without the cheat sheet), but don’t want to have to run a GUI.

Any suggestions?

I believe that most Red Hat-compatible distros would work. Customize the install to not install X or any desktop Managers, and it should boot directly into a CLI.

I don't know if the Ubuntu family can customize the install to do that.
