    Lightweight Linux distro usually comes in the file size ranging from 20MB to 50MB and they are best suited to use on a old computer. Recently, I come across this tiny Linux distro that weighs only 12MB and it boots up really fast. I am referring to Tiny Core Linux.

    Weighing at 12 MB, Tiny Core Linux is one of the tiniest Linux distro I have ever seen. Being a barebone distro, it only comes with a few essential applications that are required for it to boot up and run properly. It also comes with a graphical desktop, but if you are looking for a turnkey solution, this is not the one for you.

    TCL is designed to run from a RAM copy created at boot time. This explains why it is able to boot up so fast. On my virtual machine, it take less than 6 seconds from the click of the Start button to reach the desktop.

    Running Tiny Core

    First, download the Tiny Core ISO file from the its Downloads page. To run it, you can either burn it to a CD or test it out in Virtualbox, like what I did.

      Ja, Tiny Core är helt fantastiskt. Jag har med det systemet på min multibootskiva EXTON MultiBootCD - 9OS. Om du kör den skivan kan du också jämföra Tiny Core med åtta (8) andra minisystem som finns med på skivan. (Den kan laddas ner gratis). Du kan köra systemen direkt från ISO-filen i VirtualBox (om du vill det).
