Team Tiny Core has announced that piCore 5.1, the Raspberry Pi port of Tiny Core Linux, has been released and is available for download.

As the name implies, this distribution is known for its small size and versatility, and now a new version has been made available for Raspberry Pi.

• The distribution is based on Linux kernel 3.12.7 with sound DAC support; • BusyBox 1.22.1 has been implemented; • eglibc 2.18 has been added; • X.org 7.7 has been added; • The Linaro 4.8-2013.11 (GCC 4.8.3) toolchain has been implemented.
