_*NOT*_ asking for a Linux written in Forth!

The key feature of the mindset would be emphasis on factoring.

I wish to only acquire desired modules from the start.
What I've found so far are two unacceptable options:
  1. download bloated system and then 'unload' extraneous 
modules
  2. download a so called "live edition" which may be 
smaller, but wants to
     load itself into a RAM disk.

I don't perceive any need for the typical "Desktop 
Environment" such as
Gnome/KDE/etc. They all seem to automatically pull in "must 
have ;/" modules
of no interest or which I actively do not want.

I do wish it to be capable of pulling in precompiled modules 
from a relatively
standard repository such as Debian/Slackware/etc.

Any useful pointers?
TIA

P.S. family and friends have considered my ideas weird for 
 >50 years ;/
