A "green" distro of Ubuntu?

Though Kermit might disagree, the subject line is ONLY slightly "tongue in cheek".
I'm a Windows(tm) user tired of *BLOAT* who remembers vacuum tubes and 026's. An internet acquaintance knowing my needs and perspectives pointed me to Ubuntu as an appropriate version of Linux. I downloaded the .iso of a 'live cd' (10.?) which I found "bloated". The user experience was ok, though I'm not sure if the good features I saw were Ubuntu specific or due to Debian heritage.
A *major constraint* is I'm restricted to dial-up access. I understand that connectivity using a USB modem will have it's issues, but that is one time problem. I have very limited access to a wide-band connection at another location with my laptop.
The desired distro shall only have:
kernel
GUI
minimal browser
simple text editor {notepad suffices for >90% of my needs}
what's required to download/update apps
the *minimum* of other software to make an operable system
The result should be significantly smaller than Win 3.1 {most of which I never used)
