[TriLUG] Plop Linux

[John Vaughters via TriLUG]

Before I purged my computer inventory of any device that would not boot from USB, I used to use PLOP Boot Manager to boot from USB.  It boots to a cd and redirect to USB. It was quite convenient. I did not know PLOP had a Linux.
My favorite for small and super flexible Linux is Tiny Core. There is a bit of a learning curve to customize it, but it is incredibly useful. Currenntly I am running it on some old HP Thin Clients. Since it loads completely in memory, it is lightning fast, but you are limited by how much software you can run because they are low on Memory. Tiny Core is also has a R-Pi version, although it seems immature. I have not tested it. 
Thanks for the tip on PLOP Linux, I will check it out.

 Hi all,

Plop Linux is a very simple, experimenter friendly Linux distribution.
It's kind of like a transparent model with which you can see everything
inside. I plan on using it to test Suckless Init plus Daemontools, and
to investigate lots of other stuff about Linux, without all the smog
equipment getting in the way. Plop Linux is one heck of a learning tool.

The first Plop Linux related article I've written is how to
install Plop Linux on a VirtualBox VM:

Hope you enjoy it.
