Core Linux
« on: May 09, 2010, 01:05:45 AM »
I see a new logo: Core. Toolkit for Linux. Build it your way.
Fantastic! This is exactly how I envisioned TinyCore - as Core Linux!
This except calling it a toolkit is downplaying this fantastic system as just a toolkit!
In fact it is Core Linux, as I would call it: A Linux system built on modular architecture of core and application modules.
I suggest the logo should be 'Core Linux - compose to your needs'...

Toolkit... I agree, this may put it across as "yet another parted-magic" or something like that. Sure it can be built up as such but parted magic or other toolkits are sort of stuck in one configuration whereas tinycore is far from it.

May I suggest it be pushed as a fully modular distro, as powerful (or really, more powerful!) than your typical bloatware distros, but completely customisable for your own needs?

I don't think "toolkit" downplays anything. It plays up the fact that the basic tools are provided for user to build just what they need or want. I also don't see what part of "Build it your way" and "Fast, Easy,  Modular, Extendable" is incongruent with jur's recommendation or tclfan's "Core Linux - compose to your needs."

I like the rebranding.

(and yeah, to some extent you have to build it yourself and if you don't know how to build it TinyCore is not for you. it's a toolkit, it's not "everything for everybody".)
