Thank you all for the enormous suggestions and information's ... I think I can go forward with the customization. Many suggested using Debian instead of CentOS... Why I prefer CentOS is that CentOS is more stable than Debian or any other editions... and there will be less dependency problems (I think so)

rpm supports omitting docs. You might need to fiddle anaconda or yum to
choose the right way.

That's my thinking.
