While Tiny Core always resides in ram, additional applications extensions can either reside in ram, mounted from a persistent storage device, or installed into a persistent storage device. The desktop boots extremely fast and is able to support additional applications and hardware of the users choice. Our goal is the creation of a nomadic ultra small graphical desktop operating system capable of booting from cdrom, pendrive, or frugally from a hard drive. The latest version: 12.0 News About Our Project The user has complete control over which applications and/or additional hardware to have supported, be it for a desktop, a netbook, an appliance, or server, selectable by the user by installing additional applications from online repositories, or easily compiling most anything you desire using tools provided. It represents only the core needed to boot into a very minimal X desktop typically with wired internet access. It is not a complete desktop nor is all hardware completely supported. Maintaining the Core principle of mounted extensions with full package management. Tin圜ore becomes simply an example of what the Core Project can produce, an 16MB FLTK/FLWM desktop.ĬorePlus offers a simple way to get started using the Core philosophy with its included community packagedĮxtensions enabling easy embedded frugal or pendrive installation of the user's choice of supported desktop, while Tin圜ore is Core + Xvesa.tcz + Xprogs.tcz + aterm.tcz + fltk-1.3.tcz + flwm.tcz + wbar.tcz It starts with a recent Linux kernel, vmlinuz, and our root filesystem and start-up scripts packaged with a basic set of kernel modules in core.gz.Ĭore (11MB) is simply the kernel + core.gz - this is the foundation for user created desktops, servers, or appliances. The Core Project is a highly modular based system with community build extensions. Welcome to The Core Project - Tiny Core Linux
