[lug] lightweight linux distributions

[Dana J. Hall]

I have installed Monkey Linux on a 486 in the past and it seemed to be
adequate.  Although I did not use it for long, I was investigating this
distribution in order to reuse some old hardware to build a home network 
and I think this distribution would work for that.
