Can anyone recommend a very thin Linux/Haskell setup for DHCP cable?

I'm not sure what the relevance of the "DHCP cable" is; I can't think of an interpretation of it that would cause me to worry much about bandwidth usage at all. Debian makes it easy to install a rather lightweight system, and I find the GHC backports to stable at http://www.syntaxpolice.org/haskell-experimental/haskell-experimental.html very handy indeed. However, I know sufficiently little of your constraints or of other distributions that I can say that this is one of your best options and, frankly, if you're also a Linux newbie, much as I like it, I wouldn't start with Debian as your first distribution without some competent local help. If the problem really is a bandwidth one I'm sure someone here would be happy to burn and mail you CDs of whatever free downloadable bits you need to get going with Haskell and Linux for a very trivial sum.
