Tiny Core Linux: A Minimal 16MB GUI Desktop Distribution Built on Modular Architecture

Tiny Core Linux is a highly modular, minimal Linux distribution that starts with a 11MB base system (Core) consisting of the Linux kernel and core.gz. The TinyCore variant adds a lightweight graphical desktop environment with Xvesa, FLTK toolkit, FLWM window manager, and Wbar dock, resulting in a complete 16MB GUI desktop system. The project emphasizes modularity, allowing users to build custom desktops, servers, or appliances by adding extensions from the community repository.
