Debian is the "grand-daddy" of stripped down distros, for sure.  If 
you're willing to go through the learning curve, a properly bootstrapped 
Debian system is about as small as you can possibly get in a binary distro.

Gentoo of course, is similar, but source-based.

And there's always http://www.linuxfromscratch.org if you're really 
hard-core about it!  ;-)

Or any of the hundreds of distros at http://www.distrowatch.org, 
literally 50-75 of them claim to be "minimal".

Just thoughts... if you're really going for stripped, RedHat's "minimal" 
installation is good, but there are "more stripped" alternatives, certainly.
