14 DAY TRIAL // The development team behind the Tiny Core project was proud to announce the release and immediate availability for download of the Tiny Core Linux 8.0 operating system.
After entering development a month ago, Tiny Core Linux 8.0 received a single Beta release during its short development cycle, during which it received a new kernel version from the Linux 4.8 series, which is no longer supported upstream, as well as various up-to-date components, including X.Org 7.7 and BusyBox 1.25.1.
Also included in the final release of Tiny Core Linux 8.0, we can notice GNU C Library (Glibc) 2.24, GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) 6.2.0, util-linux 2.28.2, as well as e2fsprogs 1.43.3. Additionally, the GNU cpio general file archiver utility has been patched against UDI/GID error.
"Most extensions have been copied over from the 7.x repo - note that the X.Org 7.7 extensions have been updated, the ncurses and readline extensions have changed major versions and the OpenSSL extension has been factored out into OpenSSL and ca-certificates," reads the release announcement.
Tiny Core Linux 8.0 is available for download right now, from our website, and it's supported on both 64-bit (x86_64) and 32-bit (x86) hardware architectures. As usual, it comes in multiple editions, depending on your needs for this independently developed Linux-based operating system.
