Something like Gentoo Linux, do you mean?

I'm not sure I'm keen on this idea of several DVD ISOs.  That's a hell
of a lot to download.  There was a move, for a while, to make core and
extra really that.  Core being just what's required to run it.  Allowing
you to easily do a minimal install.  Now it's running in the other way.

Now, you'll have to download a huge ISO or do a network install for a
minimal install?
