You might look at CentOS 6.  There is a minimal DVD install.  So minimal 
I decided to go with the two DVD install because I didn't have the time 
to figure out all I wanted to add to the minimal to get it working the 
way I needed it to.

If you're mostly looking for a lighter weight GUI there are the Fedora 
spins.  Live-{XFCE,LXDE} etal.
