Is tiny-core linux open source? I would like to see their package selection configuration.
Small distributions are a ideal case study for grokking the internals.
- shakna 4y ago> Is tiny-core linux open source? It's GPL, so... Yes. Their git repositories are currently here. [0] > I would like to see their package selection configuration. Small distributions are a ideal case study for grokking the internals. The "TCZ" packaging system works by mounting applications via squashfs images, that then act as overlays.

- NickRandom 4y agoShort answer is 'Yes?' although finding the answer was a lot more difficult than I thought given the many broken links on the TCL site. As usual - Wikipedia provides the following "Tiny Core Linux is free and open-source software licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2.[4]" although the [4] link to the FAQ doesn't provide that detail hence the 'yes?' reply.
