2:04 PM EST 		Robert Shingledecker, the developer who pretty much did everything for Damn Small Linux but wasn't in control of the project, went his own way, and thus we have TinyCore. I've spoken to him on a few occasions at SCALE, and he's a really nice guy.

As things go, TinyCore is a unique project. If you have time to muck around, it's a great thing to try out.
