Since someone else also mentioned *BSD then may I
suggest: Minux? 

http://www.cs.vu.nl/~ast/minix.html

Ran me first internet accessible webserver on an old
386/20mhz with 2meg of ram & a 20 meg drive. Still
have it. Still runs. 

I also fool around with ELKS on me ole' Tandy 1000A.
It runs, more or less, although I do not yet have it
working on the hard drive. 

Oh. One more thing -

Elks developer here>'s source code lately?

( Sorry. I tried SO hard not to. Just couldn't help
myself. )
