I have a 200mb debian firewall, it even has a bunch of X libraries so I can run ethereal remotely, as well as perl. Knoppix was mentioned, but that is debian. If you want a really mini system, go with a really mini distro. However if you want a small system (150mb-512mb), go with debian as you have access to the full distribution of almost 10,000 packages.
