Tiny Core Linux 13.0 released for older or lower-end x86 hardware

Used Tiny Core as a daily driver for nearly 5 years. While it certainly is good at running on older hardware, the title is a bit misleading as that's not really the focus of the project... It's just a consequence of it being such a lean and nimble distro. It is blazing fast on modern machines.

I'm surprised (and pleased) to see further updates from Tiny Core.

The base choices are glibc/busybox, versus the musl/busybox of Alpine. Are there places where the base Tiny Core would be useful in containers or other deployment schemes?

I've generally kept it around as a simple environment I might use to boot old hardware, perhaps to run diagnostic tools. I got used to using the System Rescue CD instead; it was a familiar Gentoo starting point. Although System Rescue has switched to a different base for Linux, it's still OpenRC.

And somewhere along the way, I dropped the ancient laptop habit. The world is a better place.

Still, I'm glad I have the option of a Tiny Core setup. You never know...
