   I don't think so, because installed tools you don't need are placed on the   
   storage but not active in memory or cpu. It may save some time during fscks,   
   but greatly?   
      
   My experience is that i may need those tools sometimes in the future. If   
   removed i've to find out why it's not working, reinstall the missing, maybe   
   configure it, in short it needs my time. It's easier to rely on the   
   maintainers for the basic set of tools. For debain servers you could remove   
   the desktop environments during installation and get a basic shell system of   
   300-400MB where you can install your server on top.   
      
   From scratch is a far longer journey but you'll learn many insides of the   
   system.
