Tried Several, Finally Chosen a Favorite

| Linux gives you all kindsa choices! Not 
| just in what applications you run for 
| whatever task you have in mind, but in 
| desktop environments, window managers, 
| file managers, and so much more! Itâs 
| great to have a choice in those matters! 
| But itâs also a pain, because there is so 
| much to choose from! Of course with Linux 
| you can use any application in any desktop 
| environment! But each desktop environment 
| has itâs own set of applications that are 
| âintegratedâ for that particular 
| environment. They run ânativelyâ in the 
| environment, thus faster, and they share 
| the same libraries. The more mixing-and-
| matching you do of applications across 
| different desktop environments, the more 
| libraries you have to install to support 
| them. Which is no problem if you have room 
| on your hard disk for all that stuff. Most 
| âputers like mine with an 80-gig hard disk 
| can install all of the different desktop 
| environments and choose between them!

Tiny Core- A 10 MB Tiny Linux Desktop 

,----[ Quote ]
| Tiny Core Linux is a very small (10 MB) 
| minimal Linux GUI Desktop. It is based on 
| Linux 2.6 kernel, Busybox, Tiny X, and 
| Fltk. The core runs entirely in ram and 
| boots very quickly . Also offered is Micro 
| Core a 6 MB image that is the console 
| based engine of Tiny Core. CLI versions of 
| Tiny Core's program allows the same 
| functionality of Tiny Core's extensions 
| only starting with a console based system.

Review: Tiny Core Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| The guys over at Linux Outlaws are always
| talking about Tiny Core Linux because it
| always seems to be releasing a new version.  I
| was impressed back in the day that Damn Small
| Linux could have a working Linux distro in
| only 50 MB.  I know that Tiny Core Linux is
| technically not a full Linux distro, but I
| wanted to see what all the fuss was about.  It
| came in a recent LXF disc and I decided to
| check it out.
