The minimalistic Linux distribution Tiny Core Linux 12.0 has been released, which can run on systems with 48 MB of RAM. The graphical environment of the distribution is built on the basis of the Tiny X X server, the FLTK toolkit and the FLWM window manager. The distribution is loaded entirely into RAM and runs from memory. The new release updates system components including Linux kernel 5.10.3, busybox 1.33.0, Glibc 2.32, GCC 10.2.0, binutils 2.35.1, e2fsprogs 1.45.6 and util-linux 2.36.1.
The bootable iso image is only 16 MB. For 64-bit systems, a CorePure64 assembly has been prepared, with a size of 17 MB. Additionally, a CorePlus assembly (160 MB) is supplied, which includes a number of additional packages, such as a set of window managers (FLWM, JWM, IceWM, Fluxbox, Hackedbox, Openbox), an installer with the ability to install additional extensions, as well as a ready-made set of tools to provide exit to the network, including a manager for setting up Wifi connections.
