This is not the last RC in the series, most likely

Robert Shingledecker has announced the immediate availability of Tiny Core 6.2 RC2 Linux operating system, one of the smallest full operating systems available right now.

Tiny Core is a fitting name for this distribution and it's really one of the smallest operating systems in the world that still retain full desktop functionality. It's easy to make a Linux distro very small if you dispense with the desktop and all the necessary components, but it's also harder to use.

“Our goal is the creation of a nomadic ultra small graphical desktop operating system capable of booting from cdrom, pendrive, or frugally from a hard drive. The desktop boots extremely fast and is able to support additional applications and hardware of the users choice. While Tiny Core always resides in ram, additional applications extensions can either reside in ram, mounted from a persistent storage device or installed into a persistent storage device," is noted on the official website.

According to the changelog, a speedup patch has been implemented, some nfs4 mount changes have been implemented, and a few other bugs have been fixed

A complete list of updates and changes can be found in the official announcement. You can download Tiny Core Linux 6.2 RC2 right now from Softpedia. Remember that this is a development version, and it should not be installed on production machines.
