 centos 5 (as well as 4.5) have a lot of extras geared towards
 the enterprise, and that is fine if your server is running * and
 a bunch of other stuff on a high end machine.

 on the other hand if you are going to run a dedicated * box,
 I suggest taking a look at the latest Debian - Etch.

 The debian server install (no gui) is extremely lean, I am talking
 lean enough to run comfortably on a  PII 400 Mhz 256 Meg.

 Obviously, you will need more horsepower if you plan to do
 much transcoding or if the box needs to support a db server
 and/or apache.

 Here is a good reference for installing on debian Etch:
