Tiny Core Linux Update Available

August 15, 2009 By Ade Magnaye

An update for Tiny Core Linux is available for download at the official site.

According to Eee User,

Tiny Core Linux, the Linux distribution that was almost custom made for the Eee PC, works great on the Asus netbooks, and flies on the Asus Eee PC 701. Tiny Core Linux v2.2 is available for download immediately.

Tiny Core Linux boots entirely into RAM, which is very quick and easy considering it is only 10MB in size, and presents a basic interface to users, from which they can access anything they need to. At such a small size, it really is a Do-It-Yourself system, providing just the basics and allowing the user to build upon the foundations in any way that they want.

Seeing the screenshots though, I see that it’s a command-line interface. Not a big fan of command lines, but for a 10MB complete operating system, I won’t complain.
