dCore Wiki Welcome page
Welcome to dCore, a minimal live Linux system based on Micro Core (Tiny Core Linux) that uses scripts to download select packages directly from vast Debian or Ubuntu repositories and convert them into useable SCEs (self-contained extensions).
Supplementing dCore's small base with SCE extensions allows a user to create a fully customized system. Installing and setting up a persistent system is straightforward. Numerous Window Managers and Desktop Environments are available. The developer is very helpful to get systems running and provide support.
