About Tiny Core Linux
Tiny Core Linux aims to be an extremely lightweight core desktop upon which users can install their choice of applications. It can operate in four modes: Cloud/Internet – the default boot mode where the system boots entirely in the RAM, PPR/TCE mode – the user has to specify a persistent storage partition and employ the TCE repository, PPR/TCZ mode – the same as PPR/TCE, except it uses the TCZ extension type, and the PPI/TCE mode – installs extensions on a Linux partition or a loop back file.
