Debian, Knoppix, Red Hat, Mandrake for sure. Nearly positive SUSE and Gentoo as well. Not so sure about Arch, Lunar, Yellowdog, Corel, Libranet, ... > Secondly, I am hoping to bring in my nearly dead 166mhz Dell Laptop in for > installation.

There are some very small distros that fit on one or two 3.5" floppy diskettes (based on either Slackware, Debian, ...). Some run entirely from them, others can be used to bootstrap a full install.
