<br></div><div>**</div><div><p style="font-family:sans-serif;font-size:medium">The Elemental Linux Server (ELS) is designed from the outset to be a minimal, no-frills server distribution that allows you to run modern network services on Intel PC hardware that is about ten years old.</p>
<p style="font-family:sans-serif;font-size:medium">There is no GUI, everything is console-based. There is no package manager, packages are installed from .tar.gz files. There is no administration tool, all configuration is done by manually editing files in the /etc directory.</p>
<p style="font-family:sans-serif;font-size:medium">There is also very little bloat in the ELS distribution.</p><p style="font-family:sans-serif;font-size:medium">ELS will easily install on the vintage 1998 Pentium II computer that's sitting in your basement collecting dust. Don't throw it out, reanimate it as a home file server or a personal web server.</p>

<div>when Intel wanted to copyright the</div><div>number "5", or some such nonsense.</div><div><br></div><div>Maybe this distro would be of use</div><div>for the RPi crowd?</div><div><br></div><div> -- Bob</div>
