TinyMe 2008.0 Released!
KDulcimer is glad to announce TinyMe 2008.0 “Final” has been released! TinyMe is a PCLinuxOS-based distribution, which is targeted at older computers and people who want a very light and fast desktop environment. Although TinyMe comes as a small, 200MB ISO, it provides tools for most all of your everyday wants and needs:
- AbiWord Word Processor
- Opera Web Browser
- Audacious Media Player
- GThumb Photo Viewer and Digital Camera application
- Asunder CD ripper
- Easy-to use Control Centers which make customizing your system and desktop look 'n feel a snap.
- Sylpheed E-Mail Client
- ePDFView, a PDF Viewer
- SciTE text editor
- and even a couple of small games.
TinyMe's desktop environment consists of Openbox for the window manager, LXPanel for the panel, Nitrogen sets the wallpaper, and iDesk provides the icons.
Known Issue
Please note that while this is “Final,” there is one known issue:
When shutting down or rebooting the LiveCD, it does not complete the shutdown/reboot process. This is only on the LiveCD.

There is a page on the TinyMe wiki with a list of ways to get TinyMe. You can purchase from on-disk.com or download via Torrent, HTTP, or FTP.
