Title: Difference in RAM usage?
Post by: Kjellinux on August 04, 2021, 05:13:04 AM

I'm currently testing which lightweight Linux distributions can be used to give old low spec computers a second life. I have concluded that one of the most crucial bottlenecks is RAM usage. Lack of storage is usually less of an issue.

On http://tinycorelinux.net/downloads.html (http://tinycorelinux.net/downloads.html) only the size of the .iso files is stated. Is there any difference in RAM usage between the 3 different cores?

Core uses the least ram as it doesn’t include a gui.

I guess I should have realised. Is there any diference in RAM usage between TinyCore and CorePlus?

It probably depends on which options are chosen in CorePure, but most likely TinyCore will use less.

Sorry, I should have said CorePlus.
