Tiny Core 2.10 Comes with Some New Art

Robert Shingledecker has announced the release of Tiny Core 2.10, the latest version of the frugal live CD Linux distribution. The new version comes with several updates, focusing on the custom files and configurations, and also with some brand new art to liven up things a little, though you'd be hard pressed to spot the differences for this spartan distro.

"Recursive processing of dependencies now fully supported. Custom software upgrades to appbrowser, no popups, GUI redesign. Default window manager now has a more traditional iconize button. Improvements to ondemand, appsaudit, and cpanel. New default background color, and improved logo," Robert Shingledecker said in the official announcement on the Tiny Core homepage.

· Updated Appbrowser - no popups, GUI redesign, dropped menu for buttons, added status area;

About Tiny Core

Tiny Core takes lightweight Linux distributions to the extreme, weighing in at just 10 MB, but still providing a full graphical environment. It is designed to be a highly mobile distro coming with just the bare-bones minimum, Linux 2.6 kernel, Busybox, Tiny X, and Fltk. The previous version, Tiny Core 2.9, was released a couple of weeks ago.
