Not quite:

"ELKS is the Embeddable Linux Kernel Subset, a project to build a
small kernel subset of Linux (which will provide more or less UNIX V7
functionality within the kernel) that can run on machines with limited
processor and memory resources. More information on the background, goals
and current status of the project can be found at the  ELKS home page.

The initial proposed targets are the Intel 8086 and eventually the 286's
16-bit protected mode. A kernel that can run on this kind of hardware is
useful for embedded systems projects, for third world deployment where
80x86 x>0 machines are not easily available, and for use on various
palmtops."
