Tiny Core Linux 8.1: The Ultimate Lightweight GNU/Linux Distribution for Maximum Efficiency
Tiny Core Linux, the incredibly versatile and independently developed GNU/Linux distribution, has just received a major update to version 8.1. This latest release features a brand new version of BusyBox, which brings with it a host of additional functions and features.
With BusyBox 1.27.x as its foundation, the 8.1 release of Tiny Core Linux adds significant improvements and fixes to the already impressive 8.x series. This includes the implementation of the Lempel-Ziv-Markov chain algorithm (LZMA) and patching of the rpm2cpio lzma bug.
Moreover, the CONFIG_FEATURE_SYSLOGD_READ_BUFFER_SIZE=512 environment variable for BusyBox has been restored in this update, along with the removal of duplicated symlinks. In addition, static IP support has been introduced to the tc-config tool.
But that’s not all – the development team behind Tiny Core Linux has also released a point update, version 8.1.1, which addresses a 64-bit (x86_64) error that occurred when running the “ldconfig -p” command. This release also updates the uClibc ldconfig to version 0.9.33.2 and performs some cleanup to the firmware content and tc-install script in the CorePlus edition.
Tiny Core Linux 8.1.1 is now the most recent stable release and is highly recommended for both new installs and existing users. You can download the latest versions of Tiny Core and CorePlus for 32-bit and 64-bit computers from our website.
