hey man .. I like you :) there are indeed still lots of megs more than what 
you called what you never will use or see.

I believe that then FreeBSD is the best orientation

Base install is the server without any X or apps, it is the operating system 
only. In case of freeBSD is it some 2/300MB or so

Your doc-package is a good idea, but I guess not so much people would like it

Then all what you put in has its dependencies and are automaticall installed. 
So lets say you want KDE, then all needed packages are installed. Nothing 
more nothing less

For me that is a very clever idea - and abstract.

But I do not know if this is comparable with LINUX philosophy because most 
people use it as a workstation.
