Teeny Weeny Linux-OmniBoot Base-2012-2
Omni Boot Base-2012-2
Omni Boot Base-2012-2
Omniboot DVD is big DVD of 4.1 GiB and it won´t fit in with my Teeny Weeny Linux book but its content does.
I went to sourceforge and downloaded omniboot base which is 109 MB and has more than 100 utilities, to crack window´s password and booting without password, even on a Linux distribution, are there.
Please note the following values in MB may be wrong but are the nearest estimate.

Book on Teeny Weeny Linux-TinyMe-2012-1
Book on Teeny Weeny Linux
I have decided to finish my Little book on Tiny Linux distributions and give a tiny report as I test each one of them before making an entry in my book.
This was long overdue.
Yes one year or so.
It was just as well, I did not finish this task earlier than this.
Lot of changes are taking place of the Linux Desktop front, Gnome and Unity of Ubuntu only little is is talked about the functionality and use of the distribution
These distributions use very little resources and can be used, using an old computer taken out of attic and bit of dusting done.
They use forgotten but very useful desktops.
They also use alternative browser.
Browser which is light weight (I have written about it earlier in this site) is useful when one uses the cloud computing utilities too.
About Tiny me.
1. It is a PClinux derivative and called Unity Linux (Don´t confuse with the desktop) long before Ubuntu hijacked that name for its new desktop.
2. Its new version comes in 32 and 64 bits.
3. It detects my old IBM Netvista with a new graphic card easily.
4. Boots quickly
5. Configure the browser with few key strokes.
6. It has new package manger.
7. Its browser is Netserf
8. Above all it has AbiWord my favorite light weight but versatile word processor.
9. It does not tell you how to log in but coming from PCLinux base guessed root first and later with guest (with the password of the same letters) later.
10. It can be installed and CD is only 230 MB (just above my cut off point which is 200 MB).
I cannot load from a Tiny pocket size CD.
That is just a minor point.
It is useful as a tiny distribution with a nice looking desktop and why grumble.
It is not a utility distribution like Gparted of RIP but a good desktop to do ones day to day work.
I won´t award any points to any since all of them serve some useful purpose.
I would be grateful for your own comments about this distribution and then I can add a few more colourful lines in my own writing.
THANKS.
