I'm thinking about getting into TinyCore again

[VanillaCoffee]

I've been thinking a lot about Tiny Core Plus and getting back into it. When I first started I lost interest in it after a week or so when I had issues getting apps to work with it.

I would like to build my own desktop environment and TinyCore seems to be good for that although I've got a lot to learn about TinyCore I would like to add FireFox to it or maybe Opera, something very light but modern so I think Opera will be the choice of browser and then Libra Office and a few other Apps and then I want to customize the desktop adding wallpapers and a panel and other stuff. I'm not sure if Tiny Core can do that?

@VanillaCoffee since you where acquiring information about "Puppy"..........give EasyOS a shot.

I'm quite sure you'd appreciate it and comes with a LOT of security features.

I'm interested in both, I'm planing on doing a Tiny Core install on an old Panasonic CF-18 and a Puppy install on a Asus eee PC netbook. I'll have a look at Easy OS although I had looked at that before but I never found any download links for it.

Note that this formats to "ext4" any disk this is dumped into the first time it is booted. Better to try it first on a pluggable 16GB disk, not too large or the formatting could take a long time.

I'm looking forward to learning more about Tiny Core I haven't got the laptop yet but it will arrive in the next day of three. I selected the Panasonic CF-18 because it was cheap and it is under powered but a solid laptop good for a Tiny Core candidate, maybe not the ultimate but it will do for running Tiny Core and learning about Tiny Core Linux. I have been learning a few bash commands already.

I think once I install it I will attempt to install FireFox or Opera web browser or a better light weight web browser that is supported. Once I learn how to install apps I can then start working on other things like customizing the desktop, I'd be interested to see how Libra Office runs under Tiny Core.
