I have always loved Debian for this kind of setup. I usually use the testing distribution, to avoid the massive updates in unstable and the old package versions in stable. The install footprint is small for a minimal install, around 200Mb, and even a 90Mhz processor with 48Mb RAM was enough for my little Debian testing box. Go with stable if you don't mind having older versions of php/mysql, because the security updates are available more quickly.
Good luck!
Do you only need CD 1 for a minimal install?
I have been trying to download the CD ISOs all day, and BitTorrent is dragging at 100KBps. I finally decided to go for FTP as I was getting better performance at about 300KBps. If I only need CD 1 to test out Debian, I would rather do that...
