I have several older systems (like the craptop im using right now!) that have small secondary storage systems (usually hard drives). Slack is a good choice, i havnt messed with zip slack though.
To conserver space only install what you need (ie, dont install all the programming stuff, gnome, kde, ...) With the smaller systems I usually use blackbox (or fluxbox...) there is aslo icewm, and windowmaker, and ofcourse the really old WMs(like twm, fvwm, fvwm-95) OBSD can be installed in a relatively small amount of space too... Jacob helped me get one of my craptops running obsd on a ~300MB disk, the install was pretty easy... just pick the packages you need (they really are just targz'd files).
