headset001:
I use a 500 MHz 4GB HDD system to run Fedora 11. I want to use it as a router, web server and php, c++, mysql development environment, console only. I do not need printers, graphics, electronics design, dial-up support on it. I use vim, ssh, samba, iptables, NetworkManager for initial config. I would stop using mail server.
Is this a case for recommending the AOS spin, and then adding packages from there ?

Thanks for your replies.
dan informed me that (I hope I got it right):
If you install Fedora 11 with all groups disabled, then you get a minimal install with network cards, iptables, bash, yum and sshd included; the network service, also included, can be used in place of NetworkManager, and it uses the same configuration files.
A list of "minimal" rpms for a server: "See http://fpaste.org/paste/20124 but it was updated to Rawhide and has more server applications installed."
About appliance, I'm not sure what that means, so I post these solutions.

Handy to know.
