Hello, I have made a flavor / fork of Micro Core Linux. It has its own package manager (mpkg)
It has a new website and is available for download. It may have some bugs, but is stable on boot and run. Check it out and post (On this topic, or the Forum on the website) what you think and if you find any bugs.
Website : http://shellinux.us.to/ (http://shellinux.us.to/)
[EDIT]: I Have updated Shell-Linux with a new freshly coded Package Manager and kernel.
Thanks -CrazyCoder13

Shell-Linux uses the Micro Core 2.5 kernel (2.6.32-tinycore).
Micro Core 2.5?

Yup, I wanted to go with something more outdated so I could bring it back to life

Do not understand you respond. But never mind...

I think a .ru domain for a project whos author is in the US is not a good point.

Is the cold war still going on? how did you find out he's an American spy?
Seriously, tinycore is a good starting point for such things. you can change everything so easily with everything just being based on these few shell scripts. It's good to see people base their stuff on it.
If I had more time I would also try to make a super slim even more micro core. But is a bit unpragmatic.

Nothing about cold war. Simply a fact that I receive many attacks from Russian addresses. Not only, there are Far East addresses and also I know many secure great sites in Russia with info not available elsewhere. I'm just telling that for such a project .ru is not the best choice when it is not based in Russia. There are plenty of free options, like Google Code, Google Sites, SourceForge, etc. but a dedicated .org, .info domain is below $10/year. But it's just a personal view.
Chris Dorman, Colin Murphy not a typical Russian name :)

yeah, i need to change the domain, it will be, shellinux.us.to , and we are us

yes, this why i used micro core

Hello everyone, I have finally setup a new website for Shell-Linux :]

Where ? ???

Hi bmarkus
This might be it:

-
Yes Rich, there you go :P
-
I have updated Shell-Linux :)
Can anyone help with package compiling and adding?
-
We don't do support of forks.
-
There is something strange and suspicious about this ???
Can't exactly put my finger on it but just the "us.to" domain has to raise red flags
Just saying..

us.to is a bad choice mooving from .ru for a US LINUX team when .org domains are available cheap, $4.99/year It has a bad message.
Also do not understand why is it based on 3.5 when current upstream is 4.7
More over this feature list is interesting:
Some Shell-Linux Features
Stand Alone Package Manager (Coded in Bash Script)
90% Stable
6.6MB ISO image (Runs on 32MB or RAM)
User Friendly (Great for Linux Newbies)
Network Support (Networking works)
What 'Runs on 32MB or RAM)' means? An op sys with 90% stable? What does it mean. Also, networking works. What does it mean? Finally, I don't think such a system can be user friendly nor great for newbies.
Sorry being negative, but hope this feedback helps creators.
-
Is it only me or is there rather some irony in the fact that a fork is named "Shell-Linux" and declares "Stand Alone Package Manager (Coded in Bash Script)" when Core's package manager is actually coded in sh?
-
hehe, requesting rename to bash-linux.
i honestly think that domain names don't matter.
-
but looking at the font of the website I now also think this fork is just a troll. I fear there will be goatse as a boot screen...
-
1) I recoded the package manager using the Standard shell
2) I updated the website, and I am not a troll
3) I do not have a paypal or credit card to pay for a Domain
4) I am here to show people my work, please do not be so harsh on me

We don't do support of forks.
I Emailed Robert and he said it was fine to Fork MicroCore linux as long as i went by the GPL Version 2 License
-
He means here on the forum. Forks are allowed by the license, but discussion and support of them should be on their own forum.

Good to hear, so no technical irony, but rather a communication error, I'd guess.

No-one ever implied forking wasn't ok, and there is nothing particular to Core about that...

Free and open source software is that which, by definition, may be forked from the original development team without prior permission without violating any copyright law.
I encourage you to read the whole article.

if at all this should be about pragmatic value, not about legalities.
i haven't had time to try it so I don't know what makes it more minimal or better or at least different than tinycore. important details would be what kernel and what main libraries and what aims the distro has in comparison to e.g. tinycore. what has been changed? are the shell scripts now much shorter? did you leave out lots of functionality, features, gaining easier overview and clarity when you look through how the whole system works? does it still use squashfs mounts and and ramfs as root?
just some encouraging thoughts of mine.

Anyone wishing to discuss or ask questions about this distro can do so by visiting:

That site has its own forum. This thread is now locked.
