Definitions for "ELKS"
ELKS is a subset of the Linux kernel that runs on IBM compatible PCs from 8086 up. It is intended to get use out of obsolete old hardware, for use in embedded systems, as an educational tool.
ELKS (the Embeddable Linux Kernel Subset) is a Unix-like operating system kernel that can run on Intel 8086-compatible microprocessors. ELKS, formerly known as Linux-8086, is a small subset of Linux and can run on machines with limited processor and memory resources, including machines with 16-bit microprocessors that aren't supported by Linux.
Similar to a screamer. A guardian that engages in combat. An Elk is a false mate to either a male or female E. They are chosen from birth to be Elks, but later on are assigned to an E. Their responsibility is to groom, feed, educate, and protect the E until the E is old enough to do so alone.
