General TC > Tiny Core on Virtual Machines
Virtual or Real
bmarkus:
Still I do not understand why is it easier for a newbie to
1) Learn what virtualization is
2) Install virtualization on WINDOWS
3) Learn virtalization environment
4) Install/configure TC
5) Learn TC
just to learn what TC is instead of just to make an USB stick?
More work, more new thing to learn.
And finally it is like a 'no fat, no sugar, no calories, no ...' coffee. Doesn't come close to a good Italian espresso :)

With the fat, sugar, and calories right there on the table, waiting to be added if the customer wishes so ;)

A newbie following screenshots or even better my (coming soon) a ready made Virtual Machine Image
1) doesn't need to
2) not necessary, it's just clicking through the usual Windows setup
3) doesn't need to
4) probably that's necessary on usb but not when using a ready made VID
5) That is hopefully done on usb as well as on virtual machine
Maybe one day an automated script and a readable manual with screenshots will be available enabling a newcomer who never heard of usb to create a TC usb within less than an hour.
As long as there is only the Wiki manual with more than 300 expert lines of bare text without a single screenshot I got the impression many newbies struggle one or two weekends till they get their usb espresso if they succeed at all.

If one wishes to use a pendrive, it does not take hours.
How difficult is it to burn a cd, boot from cd, run usbinstall?
Virtualization means having a large and powerfull computer.
So many, like me, do not own or cannot afford such things.

That's true, virtualization works best on modern hardware.
But older hardware isn't excluded. Above results (two virtual machines working in parallel) were achieved with an old 2.6 GHz AMD Athlon on 900 MB RAM - a system (case, mainboard, CPU, DVD, RAM) which will cost less than $300 without monitor
