Robert Shingledecker has announced the immediate availability for download and testing of the Tiny Core 5.1 Linux operating system.

Highlights Tiny Core Linux 5.1:

• The Linux kernel has been updated from 3.8.10 to 3.8.13 (this is just a minor update to fix a specific bug) • The support $KERNEL parameter has been updated; • Multi-architecture support has been added; • getbootparam has been updated to properly match a parameter that is a substring; • getpasswd has been updated to preserve last character entered in a password;
