Well, if you want more security from ELKs that what you'll find in "bloat
95-2k" then I think you'll be holding your breath for a while.  How much
memory do you have?  I would suggest looking around for an older version
of Linux that isn't going to take up so much memory.  I remember seeing a
web page where someone had Linux running on a 386 with just over a meg or
ram, using a 1.1.x or 1.2.x kernal I think.  Maybe something like that
would work for you.
