Well if you really want to "tweak the guts of the O/S" I guess you need to start from source code; is that what you mean?

There are a number of Linux distros that allow you to download the whole source code and then compile if you've got CPU cycles to burn and a few hours to do it in. I know that Ubuntu will allow that. Also Gentoo provides kernel tailoring letting you build the O/S you want.

Understanding all this can be an issue if you haven't done it before. There's a project called Linux From Scratch (LFS) which provides source code but also a book in both digital and hardcopy which describes the internals of how the kernel is built. That might be a good place to start.
