No, they focus on stability. All of those wacky speed tweaks can (and often do) cause breakage.
Yes, Linux may be faster at some things, but (e.g.) FreeBSD is a faster router. It depends on what you do.
And more often than not, your computer is waiting on you to do something. On anything faster than 1GHz, its faster than me, so I only bother upgrading my compile box.

I would also recommend suse, for a mostly non linux user I found it most comfortable because it reminded me of windows, more than redhat or fedora core. You can all feel sorry for me because I have a midterm in my Linux class tomorrow, or not, I feel sorry for myself enough. Anyways Suse is also nice because since its from Germany it doesn't have to apply to the copyright laws in the US, just something my teacher mentioned.

On that note, OpenBSD is from Canada, and is striving to make everything licensed under the BSD license, so all can use it for any reason.

Suse is run by Novell, isn't Novell an American company? :S
