Default Small Linux Distro

I would like some reccomendations for a small Linux distribution. This will need to install onto a 450MB hard drive, so maybe one that takes up about 200MB. It doesn't need to be so small it fits on a floppy, a CD is fine. I am not going to install a GUI either. The system will be used as a webserver.

Thanks in advance.

**** Small Linux. It's about 50MB with a Basic install, and an expanded install will run about 150-200MB.

**** Small Linux can also run over windows and can easilly be booted from a flash or jumb drive.
