Debian starts at less than 100MB, how much more than that figure you end up at depends on the development libraries you will install.
When building a server I normally start with a base Debian Stable install and skip both tasksel (low granularity task selection) and dselect (high granularity task selection) and just apt-get exactly what the box needs. The extensive dependency tree built into apt handles it all nicely.
