It sounds like a base install of Debian will do the trick. Other 
distros probably have the same options, but I can only speak 
intelligently about Debian in this case. During the install, you 
will be presented with an option to choose what kind of system to 
install (ie. Standard Desktop; File Server; etc.). Don't choose 
any task in that list that will install a desktop.

Then you install the packages you desire, such as Xorg, fvwm, 
firefox, etc.

Does that seem like it would meet your needs?
