Fair enough. But the problem comes in when you start thinking about how
much other stuff needs to be running to actually build a workable
development environment. Do you need X, what kind of editor, etc. Are
you going to force them to use "ed"?
Take a look at ArchLinux. Seems to be slated towards a minimal system and
then you add in what other things you might need. So you could write up a
how to that gives step by step instructions to get to a certain point.
The other path you might take is check out the server editions of the
various distributions.
