Distribution Release: Tiny Core Linux 6.0 "piCore"
[Tiny Core Linux]
Béla Markus has announced the release of version 6.0 of Tiny Core
Linux "piCore" edition, a minimalist distribution designed for the
Raspberry Pi single-board computer: "Team Tiny Core is pleased to
announce the immediate availability of piCore 6.0. The most important
change is the use of the official long-term 3.12.y (3.12.36) Linux
kernel to offer more stable operation over experimental kernels and to
get wider range of hardware supported, specially audio devices. The FLTK
library has been updated to 1.3.3 to enable Unicode. FLTK 1.1 and 1.3
can be installed at the same time, and old applications using 1.1 will
continue to work. The size of SD card images has been reduced. It boots
in safe overclocking mode to shorten boot time by 20% with performance
governor; switch to 'ondemand' when startup completes. Other changes:
Core base synchronised with the common 6.0 base; Raspberry Pi firmware
updated to January 19, 2015 version; e2fsprogs updated to 1.42.12...."
