HELP: Seti under ZipSlack?? need to get 4 machines up

I want to get away from buying more M$ stuff. I have parts to put up 4 machines this weekend or what left of it.
I fly back out Sunday morning.
I need a very small Linux distro that will work SMP and NON-SMP (can autodetect? or if you give me the switch and wherew to put it I will).
I can't find anything in the documentation for ZipSlack, but I figured what the heck, its small so I downloaded it to a machine to try it.
I have a bunch of HD's under 1G, some under 500M all formatted with FAT or FAT32.

Zipslack doesnt have support for the SIS900 on the K7S5A, so I put in a 3C905 and at least I can ping something.

I am also using AMD XP1800+ procs, the seti sight says:
For Linux systems on the AMD K6 processor, only the binaries
i386-pc-linux-gnu-gnulibc2.1 and
i386-pc-linux-gnulibc1-static should be used.
SO which one should I download?

since these machines will run out in the garage, I need to know if there is anything like SetiSpy or Setidriver for linux that is easy to setup and use. Which ones do you prefer?



 
use this floppy install. will support multi cpus no problem.
As far as a Queue I'm not quite sure whats out there for linux.

Seti on floppy.

I have been useing this disto on several computers. The one I love is an old PII266. I have the asus 440lx motherboard
screwed to the foor joists with a powersupply, floppy and a network card. It crunches faithfully and I have no problems with it.
The best part is I can remotely monitor it from any of the networked machines.

 
for some reason I cant get it to recognize a 3c905 and I've tried several 905's - this i on a ECS K7S5A MB
the onboard LAN is disabled since they dont have drivers for it
