TinyMe is a live cd derivative of PCLOS that offers you the best of its parent, with the small size common to "lite" distributions or "distros" as they're more commonly called. One of the first things I discovered with this distribution is that anyone who tries out TinyMe and is a fan or user of PCLOS will likely feel right at home.

If you are interested in getting that really old machine up and running again, with as little as ~32MB of ram, then there is a shiny new competitor to PuppyLinux and Damn Small Linux: TinyMe.

"TinyMe test 7 is now available! [...] TinyMe is a PCLinuxOS-based distribution which is targeted at older computers and people who want a very light and fast desktop environment..."

TinyMe is a lightweight linux OS, it is aimed at making the computing experience as bloat- and lag-free as possible. It is well-suited to older computers, enthusiasts devoted to small/fast systems

I've used Puppy, DSL, and a few other lightweights to bring some old junkers back from the dead but never had the pleasure of using TinyMe, until now. The Unity-based TinyMe 2010 is of course a minimalist distro and it uses the Openbox session and window manager.

TinyMe is a scaled down version of PCLinuxOS 2007. The latest version is delivered as a 177 MB liveCD and features the Lightweight X11 Desktop Enviroment, Synaptic, and the PCLinuxOS Control Center. It comes with a few applications, so it could be a really light version of PCLOS for older computers or a foundation on which to build your own system as you choose.

Imagine a different way of computer life. For 80% of your computer-using time, you carry a usb key as your notebook computer You come to a foreign place and are allowed to use an unfamiliar computer. The computer may work perfectly or it may have been rendered non-bootable by a virus. It may be a powerful one or it may be an inexpensive netbook. It may speak Zulu or Tamil.

If you are using an old computer or just want a lean, fast experience on a more recent one, you could be interested in using a lightweight GNU/Linux distro as your operating system.

A new linux chat room created on freenode.net This channel aims to bridge the gap between beginners and advanced user's. As well it is a typical hangout & will serve as the interim channel for TinyMe.
