the base Debian system takes slightly less than 20MB of disk space while the "standard" install is probably around 200MB. (numbers based on current Debian Stable "Woody" from Dwarf's Guide to Debian GNU/Linux)

most of my systems are in the 400MB range, but i tend to install a couple of browsers/email clients/audio players, etc. that are not really necessary.

install the base system and "apt-get" what you want/need.  that way you will have control over what is on your system.

dunno if there is anything for a gentoo system since i don't use it.
