Just finished a list of the best lightweight Linux distros. Included Tiny Core Linux.

Would love to get some feedback and suggestions. What do you use on your old hardware?

The SliTaz distro deserves looking at, especially since it also uses BusyBox as the main shell / utilities.  Stable, cooking, rolling releases etc.  Same emphasis on trying to make the most of resources, but obviously different goals than TC/PiCore.
