Title: Just wanted to say....
Post by: daemonjax on June 17, 2009, 12:29:36 AM

Thanks for the hard work that went into this distro!

I plan on putting this on my friend's daughter's laptop tomorrow that I gifted to her.  It's an 11 year old laptop, PII 266 w/196 megs of memory, DVD drive, and 2 USB ports -- but lacking a HDD. 

She has been running Puppy Linux, which works fine... but I think Tiny Core  might actually be better for this application. 

I've been familiarizing myself with Tiny Core through a Virtual Box, and while doing so I've noticed some discrepencies in the installation instructions -- but nothing insurmountable.

Anyways, thanks again for this elegant piece of work!

What a nice minimalist distro.  I have tried many... some too big, some too small.  Some are ok, but extensions are lacking or are very old versions.  TC seems "just right".  Keep up the good work! :)
