Robert Shingledecker, the brilliant mind behind Tiny Core Linux, made an exciting announcement on June 28th. The highly anticipated release of Tiny Core Linux 2.1 is finally here, weighing in at a minuscule 11 MB.

Additionally, the latest Tiny Core Linux 2.1 provides better support for laptops with the inclusion of two new modules: hwmon and rfkill.
Tiny Core Linux 2.1 packs a punch with its impressive features:
· Supporting the df and mount bind options much more effectively by swapping out initramfs for tmpfs;
· Fixing several boot crashes with the new squashfs module;
· Enhanced appbrowser interaction with the new Aterm application;

But that’s not all, there’s even more to love about Tiny Core Linux 2.1! With the upgrade_tce.sh batch upgrade script, USB installations have never been easier with the new usbinstall CLI (command line interface) tool. And the virtual hard drive now supports persistent home, giving users even more flexibility.
For those unfamiliar, Tiny Core Linux is a minimalist operating system designed for users to build their own desktop environment by choosing and installing specific applications. It can be operated in four different modes, making it customizable to fit the user’s preferences and needs.
