I'm confused what relation this has with Linux.
- pm215 2y agoThe "getting started" doc briefly mentions the history: it began in 1995 as a fork of the standard Linux kernel (initially named Linux-8086), by Linux kernel developers Alan Cox and Chad Page. So it does share both code roots and some initial community with the "real" mainline Linux.
- lproven 2y agoWhat isn't explained by the name? ELKS: Embeddable Linux Kernel Subset. It'a a subset of the Linux kernel, which is suitable for embedded systems. Meaning, "don't expect this to be a usable desktop OS."
