I don't know about other distros but Gentoo now has modular xorg 7.0 in portage which can save some space if you install X. KDE has also been split up (by Gentoo devs) so you only need to install what you want and not waste so much space. Another plus about compiling is not having all the extra libs you don't need installed by RPMs which is why BSD or Gentoo or Slackware is good. I'm guessing SLAX is based off slackware?
And with a bunch of small drives, use LVM (Linux Volume Management). That way it acts as one big root (/) partition instead of seperate mountpoints.
