Welcome to TinyMe
“TinyMe Rocks! I love it.”
~Texstar, head developer of PCLinuxOS
Hello and welcome to the TinyMe project! TinyMe is a remaster of PCLinuxOS which comes packaged in a miniscule 200MB ISO. We do this for those of you who have old computers, like to mess around with small/fast systems, or want to program for a lightweight environment. TinyMe is comparable to distributions like Puppy1), AntiX, and DSL. If you like small distributions of Linux, give TinyMe a try.
While trying to retain a small, lightweight platform, TinyMe also strives to bring you the basic tools for everyday needs. When you download TinyMe 2008.0, you receive the tools to:
- Write documents in AbiWord, a Word Processor 2)
- Browse the web with Opera
- Listen to music in Audacious, a WinAmp look-alike
- View photos and download photos off your camera with GThumb
- Rip CDs in Asunder
- Customize your system and desktop through easy-to use Control Centers
- Get your E-Mail with Sylpheed
- View PDFs with ePDFView
- Edit text files or write a program with the SciTE text editor
- and even play a couple of small games 3).

In fact, Grafburn by Nathan Fisher, the CD burning program for Puppy Linux and Grafpup, has been ported to TinyMe.

Warning: Susan Linton reports “there was one major bug I really need to report. There is an icon on the desktop called Gweled that when clicked opens an app that sucks all the user's time up causing reduced productivity. I must have lost a couple hours fiddling with it. I'm sure that was an oversight on the developers part including such a thing.”
