Elemental Linux Server (ELS) is designed from the outset to be a minimal, no-frills server distribution. There is no GUI, everything is console-based. There is no package manager, packages are installed from .tar.gz files. There is no administration tool, all configuration is done by manually editing files in the /etc directory.
There is also very little bloat in the ELS distribution.
Elemental Linux Server will easily install on the vintage 1995 Pentium computer with 32M of RAM and a 500M hard drive that's sitting in your basement collecting dust. Don't throw it out, reanimate it as a home file server or a personal web server.
