A lot of stories center around Fuzzballs. Here is a background link on what was a fuzzball: https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/52324.52337 https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/52324.52337 Basically a minimal install to get a workstation-class machine connected to the Internet back when the Internet was a network of larger mainframe and minicomputers.
