The Tiny Core development team had the pleasure of announcing the immediate availability for download of the Tiny Core Linux 6.2 operating system, an independent distribution known for being one of the smallest Linux kernel-based OSes in the world distributed as Live CDs.

According to the release notes, Tiny Core Linux 6.2 adds a speedup patch to the tce-audit component, improves mounting of NFS4 (Network File System) filesystems, makes the tce-load component a little faster, converts tce-ab to a symlink, and updates the copy2fs name in the rc.shutdown script and the tce-remove component.

Additionally, a patch for no-deps files submitted by Greg Erskine has been applied to the tce-size component, awk recursion changes have been moved to a subshell in the tce-load component, and the tce-setup component has been instructed to wait for slow CD-ROM drivers.

"Team Tiny Core is proud to announce the release of Core v6.2, which includes several improvements to speed up the tce-* scripts and adds nsf4 support," was stated in the announcement. "In addition, TinyCorePure64-6.2.iso is now legacy-bios/(u)efi multi-boot."

Download Tiny Core 6.2, Tiny Core Plus 6.2, and Tiny Core Pure 6.2 for 32 and 64-bit hardware architectures right now from Softpedia or directly from the distribution's website, where you will find more details about one of the smallest distros in the world.
