Team Tiny Core is pleased to announce that Tiny Core 6.0 Alpha1 is available for public testing:
http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/6.x/x86/release_candidates/http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/6.x/x86_64/release_candidates/This is an alpha level cut. If you decide to help test, then please test carefully. We don't want anyone to lose data.
Since this is an alpha cut, although the team has worked through several preview cuts, we ask that only experienced users test. This cut is not for general use. The features in any alpha are not fixed and may change before a public release candidate is available.
Most extensions have been copied over from the 5.x repo - note that the fltk library has been updated to 1.3.3 to enable unicode. fltk-1.1 and 1.3 can be installed at the same time, and old apps using 1.1 will continue to work.
We appreciate testing and feedback.
If you use distribution files note that you need a new vmlinuz and core.gz (or rootfs.gz + modules.gz)
