Tiny Core Linux是一份很小(10 MB)的最低限度Linux桌面。它基于Linux 2.6內核、Busybox、Tiny X、FLTK圖形用戶界面、JWM窗口管理器，全部運行在內存中。它并非一份完整的桌面，也不完整支持所有的硬件;它只代表能引導進入一份最小X窗口桌面所需的核心內容，典型情況下可包含對有線網絡的訪問。這份最小桌面可以通過從在線軟件倉庫安裝額外應用軟件來進行擴展。

Robert Shingledecker has announced the release Tiny Core Linux 2.0, a minimalist (11 MB), but extensible Linux distribution for the desktop: "Team Tiny Core is pleased to announce the release of Tiny Core Linux 2.0 and introduce MicroCore, a 7 MB, no-X environment ISO image based on Tiny Core Linux.
