try an openbsd <http://www.openbsd.org> install.  partition something 
like this:
/       64MB
swap    128MB
/usr    300MB
/var    the rest

then install only minimal required file sets + man pages:
base
etc
bsd
man

this will give you a really slim openbsd install, but enough to play 
around with (as long as you install precompiled packages).  the 
partition scheme i provided assumes you want to be able to stash some 
data on /var.  if not the case and you'd like a bit more flexibility 
with what you can do with the box, the make /use about a gig and give 
the rest to /var.
