Yeah, this is one of the reasons I use Gentoo (although I don't use it for desktops, where compilation time might be a bigger issue). A Gentoo ISO is 154MB... but doesn't include any GUI, of course.
Still, there's a lot to be said for the granularity with which Gentoo lets you install packages and their features.

but a gentoo install takes up quite a bit of space, seen as you need to have a compiler and all the dev libraries. And portage takes up a fair about of space.
