Tiny Core Linux是一份很小(10 MB)的最低限度Linux桌面。它基于Linux 2.6內(nèi)核、Busybox、Tiny X、FLTK圖形用戶界面、JWM窗口管理器，全部運行在內(nèi)存中。它并非一份完整的桌面，也不完整支持所有的硬件;它只代表能引導(dǎo)進入一份最小X窗口桌面所需的核心內(nèi)容，典型情況下可包含對有線網(wǎng)絡(luò)的訪問。這份最小桌面可以通過從在線軟件倉庫安裝額外應(yīng)用軟件來進行擴展。

Robert Shingledecker has announced the release Tiny Core Linux 2.0, a minimalist (11 MB), but extensible Linux distribution for the desktop: "Team Tiny Core is pleased to announce the release of Tiny Core Linux 2.0 and introduce MicroCore, a 7 MB, no-X environment ISO image based on Tiny Core Linux. Change log: new Linux kernel 2.6.29.1 and modules; new glibc 2.9; new libstdc++, libgcc, ldconfig; new Dropbear 0.52; new flPicSee 0.9.1, new scaling, zomming, and pop-up informaton; new Squashfs module to base for support of 'squashed' extensions; new cryptohome to use AES; new mount and losetup; new virtual drive support; new extension-driven desktop boot option, adding a WM extension no longer requires the corresponding desktop=xyz option; updated JWM, fixed full screen video bug...."
