I like to think of the TinyCore as (const)Linux. TinyCore boots from a fixed instance state. When booted, this state can change as usual, but on reboot it will be reinitialized to the defined state. Persistent changes to the state are done as 'backup' of whatever change aspects. The backup is driven by lists -- special text files that define files and directories to persist. TinyCore apps are packed in a custom .tgz format and are downloaded from a number of mirrors or locally, if cached.
