Gentoo is fairly easy to install and allows you
to be rather specific on what gets loaded. The
stage-3 install (only one supported at this
point) takes about 40 minutes (less if you burn
an install CD and use local media).

You might want to look into optimizing the kernel
for size also if the system has a fairly specific
use.
