If you use a "live CD" you can play with Linux without doing anything to the hard disk. It will be slower than a real install, but that is usually a worthwhile tradeoff. There is a Live CD with Slimserver, you can load it and go. Something like DSL-N would work well on an old box, and I think there is even a SlimServer kit for it.
Assuming you were talking about SlimCD in the first paragraph: it is based on DSL. I wanted to move to DSL-N for better hardware support. But DSL-N seems to have died within the first few weeks of its existence :-(
