It is very possible, even with redhat.
I did a minimal install of redhat for a firewall and if you are careful
about you packages, you can get teh install down to ~80MB which you can
trim fairly easily down to ~70 (rm -r all man, doc, and X11 directories)
As a comparison doing the same thing with slackware gives you ~50MB
If you get real careful you should be able to get things down under 20MB
(and probably even less)
you do NOT want to run X on your firewall if you can help it
