If space is your worry and you will use it only as gateway / file server / whatever, try Damn Small Linux (http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/). 50 Mb and it's fully functional.

No this is a standard installation of Windows XP with nothing extra installed (and only the Windows folder). I just looked at an old
laptop I installed XP to use as 'n gateway, and that installation is only 1Gig (Windows) and 100Mb (Program Files), nothing programs
related installed.  My File Server is at: 1.7Gig (Windows), Program files is 14Gig, quite a few things installed over time. On my
other File server I used N-Lite to strip a lot out of windows so it's at: 850Mb (Windows) and 312Mb (Program Files), also have
installed a lot of program files, and the setup of the n-lite windows is only 200Mb.

Just out of curiosity: Does that XP size include a full installation
of OpenOffice? One of the few things I really don't like about Ubuntu
is the fact that they include the full blown OO.org suit by default.
Evolution is another beast that I usually remove 5 minutes after I
finished installing the OS since it sucks and takes quite some space.
