Me too - I'm a recent convert away from screen/mc/vi to X/KDE but still 
spend all day in the commander or kvim - its just... prettier! (a crazy 
animated supercaramba desktop overlaid with transparent konsoles and 
drop-shadows on my monospaced fonts!)

For a bare bones setup I recommend reading Linux From Scratch and using 
a subset of something like Slackware - unless you want help with clever 
package management: in which case Debian netboot will give you a kernel, 
bash, and as little as you want!

Regards,

Michael.
