asterisk users - Nov 2004 - Best Linux base for small Asterisk server?

I'm in the process of building up a small (1x1) test Asterisk box
based on a 1Ghz VIA C3 Mini-ITX box with one PCI slot (and a FX100P).

Anyone have suggestions as to the best Linux distribution (or kernel)
to base the system on?

I'll just have one FXO/POTS line and then a Grandstream Budgetone 101
IP phone; this is more for playing with IVR functionality than
anything else.

Thanks.

Bill

I'm a fan of a trimmed-down slackware but there are smaller distros yet.  My
entire * setup fits into less than 500MB and that's without really cutting
in
there and trimming things out.

-A.

I'm using RH9 and Mandrake 10, because they were easy to install.  I
heard good things about Gentoo when properly built and tweaked, but it
requires some effort.  Search the list archives for previous
discussions.

Asterisk + Apache only.
