Great idea.  Now if I only had the time.   I have a rapidly approaching
deadline and so really can't explore that route.   Does anyone know of 
such a lean, mean LINUX having been built on a small machine that 
is available for use elsewhere?  I'd certainly be interested for the
next generation/district of ancients->students.
I'll certainly look at linuxfromscratch anyway.
