It's a bit hard to know what you mean with "Forth mindset". The first
thought I had was a Linux kernel with a Forth system as the init
process. But if you want to be able to use a standard package format
and repository, that means you want to use an established
distribution. If you prefer the Debian repository, use Debian.

Then do manual package selection instead of the prefab configurations.
Only install the basic packages (which took around 500MB the last time
I tried it, so not exactly small, and still missing lots of things I
consider essential, especially ssh and Emacs, but also contains stuff
I don't need on most machines, e.g., xinetd), and then install only
those packages you need.
