How about "ELKS - Linux development for pre-386 processors" as the one-liner?
I realize it is a little ambiguous, but it does quite well for one line.
How many people actually send "lists" and "info" commands to majordomo?
Also, I was surprised to get:
>>>> info linux-8086
#### No info available for linux-8086.
>>>>
from majordomo. How about:
A mailing list for discussion of ELKS - The Embeddable Linux Kernel Subset.
The goal of the ELKS project is to create a Linux option for embedded
controllers, palmtops, and older computers, specifically those without memory
management units. (An MMU is necessary for virtual memory.) See
http://elks.doa.org/ for more information.
(Basically stolen from the ELKS web page. By the way, is elks.doa.org
current? I just grabbed it off a bookmark.)
