Minimal Debian Woody install (debootstrap) is around 80 MB. Is that
enough even for the Windows registry these days?

Seriously, your system could have hardly seen anything comparably
resource conscious to Debian stable.

If that is not your cup of tea (i.e. prefer coffee), try Whitebox Linux,
or some other fork of RHEL (if you cannot go for RHEL directly). Red
Hat's server line is very good, the industry standard, or so they say. 
Actually, you would be right to point out Debian is industry standard,
too, as reported by Netcraft [1]. Suse's enterprise offering might also
be of consideration. The two RPM-based enterprise distros are IMO the
only choices if you must have (and can afford to have) someone stand
behind your back.

And enough of distro FUD, back to shell!
