Roy, 

Something to look at may be ClarkConnect.  I use it on an overpowered system 
at the house but I would image that a slimmed down install can be had without 
too much trouble.  I don't have a clean install to give you the install size 
but I am looking at 19 GB in root with 18GB of it in my home dir.  It is also 
full featured and web configurable. 

Full featured means that it has gallery, httpd, squid, privoxy, ftp, ssh, mail 
(to include SA) and a bunch more.  Additionally once you register it with 
ClarkConnect they will do dydns for free (ie your registered 
name.pointclark.net).
