Tiny Core Linux: My first impression: innovative and amazing

,----[ Quote ]
| But there's a lot to be said for a system 
| with just a Web browser. I haven't heard 
| anybody say this, but the way I have Tiny 
| Core running at this particular moment, I 
| can't imagine the Google Chrome OS being 
| much different. And if you want to boot 
| super-quickly into a working desktop like 
| Google Chrome OS promises, but you want to 
| do it now with old, crappy hardware like 
| mine, Tiny Core is ready to do it today.

Todayâs Featured Distribution â Ark Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| I ran Ark as an experimental on my system a 
| couple times in the past few years. I was 
| always impressed with it. Itâs simple. Itâs 
| not bloated or overloaded with fluff. Itâs a 
| working manâs (or womanâs) Linux. For those of 
| you concerned about these things, Ark is a 
| 100% FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) 
| distribution.
| 
| [...]
| 
| Youâll find Ark familiar and easy to use. It 
| comes with KDE as the default desktop 
| environment. It uses the familiar RPM and Apt 
| as package managers. Most of your favorite 
| Linux apps and tools will run fine on Ark. 
| Their repos have the standard fare found in 
| most distroâs repos.

Ark Linux 2008.1 released

,----[ Quote ]
| The Ark Linux team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Ark
| Linux 2008.1, a new version of its easy-to-use, easy-to-learn operating
| system.
|
| Contrary to our original plan for this release, we have decided to make one
| more release based on KDE 3.x, to provide a stable state-of-art system that
| fixes all known problems with earlier versions before the big move to KDE
| 4.x.

Review: Ark Linux H2O 2007.1

,----[ Quote ]
| Overall Ark is a pretty decent OS for the new user.  It's got some rather
| bothersome show stopping bugs that need to be worked out before I can
| recommend it to new users, but like any little lump of coal, at some point in
| time it's going to turn into a little gem.  So there is a lot of hope there
| for the future.  Depending on how well Ark matures over the coming months and
| years, especially in how it handles hardware, I can't really see where this
| particular distribution couldn't easily find its way onto my short list of
| recommended distributions for the new user.  It's certainly got the
| potential.

Ark Linux 2007.1 Released!

,----[ Quote ]
| The release of Ark Linux 2007.1 also marks the beginning of the development
| cycle for Ark Linux 2007.2 - over the next few days, we will upgrade our
| development tree "dockyard-devel" to snapshots of the upcoming KDE 4.0
| desktop. Ark Linux 2007.2 is expected to be released shortly after KDE 4.0 -
| a pre-release for developers and people who are curious about KDE 4.0 will be
| made available as soon as the migration is complete.

Ark Linux H2O - 2007.1

,----[ Quote ]
| If you like KDE, is very unlikely that you will be disappointed with this
| distribution; if you prefer Gnome, maybe this is not the right distribution
| for you.

Manage partitions and disks with GParted-Clonezilla live CD

,----[ Quote ]
| For a home user or an administrator with just a few systems, the
| GParted-Clonezilla live CD is an excellent tool for managing disks. It can
| save you several hours when preparing new disks or migrating partitions from
| one disk to another. It's also a fantastic way to move a partition that's not
| around free space into a bigger partition without much fuss.
