Tiny Core Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| Several projects exist that purport to be small, run-in-memory distributions. 
| The most popular probably is Puppy Linux. Puppy has spawned several 
| variations, and I have used it several times myself on older machines. But, I 
| have discovered one that bowled me over completelyâTiny Core Linux. This 
| distribution is a totally different beast and fills what I think is as of yet 
| an unfilled category.
| 
| To start, Tiny Core is tinyâreally tiny. The full desktop version weighs in at 
| approximately 10MBâthis is for a full graphical desktop. Not many other 
| options can deliver something like this. People of a certain age may remember 
| projects like Tom's root/boot, or muLinux. Tiny Core fits somewhere in between 
| those older floppy-based projects and âheavierâ small distributions like 
| Puppy.
