system’s popular version, is just 16MB in size and comes with a simple
and fast GUI.
hat is Tiny Core?
Before
telling about the latest release of Tiny Core Linux, I’ll
be taking a moment to introduce the Linux-freshers to Tiny Core. It’s
not your usual Linux distribution like Ubuntu or Mint with an attractive
boot screen and stock wallpapers.
Tiny
Core–one of the tiniest computer OS based on Linux kernel–keeps
itself small and helps you get things done. This fast, flexible, and
powerful operating system could become a great tool if you are skilled
in command line tools and simple shell scripting.
Tiny Core Linux Terminal
The user
has complete control over the Tiny Core Linux distro whose popular
TinyCore version is just 16MB in size — about 1/400 to 1/100 the size of
the popular operating systems.
Tiny Core comes with a fully-customizable desktop with very few
end-user software. However, selecting and installing your preferred tools is easy.

The
Tiny Core Linux 7.2 release doesn’t bring many major changes to the
table. The new features coming to the operating system include ondemand
improvements made in the
tc-function script.
As
another major change in
Tiny Core Linux 7.2, ondemand will no longer start by itself. Also, the
“clear” command has been shifted to the end of the rcS script.
If you are willing to give Tiny Core Linux a try, you can grab all three versions here at their website.
