Ok, i'm going to send the developers of the 25 dollar computer an email now, can anyone recommend a ultra light weight package of extensions that would complement the target computer, such as
- internet browser
- email client
- word processor
Sorry but i'm still new to tinycorelinux and have only tried a few packages so far, to learn how to use it for a server on old hardware.
remus:
tinycore linux website seems to be down right now, so i'm going to hold off sending the email, as I was going to include links to the core concepts and faq.

I think that at the beginning tinycore requires more understanding for its operating systems, but then becomes easier to manage than others.
Just think about the package management, and how its operation is transparent.
The only thing that makes it less intuitive is the lack of a flirtatious and self-explanatory interface (distance that gradually gets shorter), and the presence of some new concept.

- Web Browser
- Word Processor
- Email Client
- Anti Virus
lets face it, if you can only afford 25 dollars for the system and cheap mouse/keyboard/monitor from somewhere (such as the dump). You might be satisfied with Practical usage, not Ubuntu.
Gives a newbie somewhere to start, and as they learn the ropes of tinycore linux, the skies the limit !!!
