Do people really enjoy all that piddling about?

It doesn't stay tiny when you start adding applications and all the dependencies...
 
I used to years ago. It's just the core your getting, ok for basic internet or testing. It's quite an amazing feat to run such a small OS with so much functionality

Pure 64

I was impressed years ago but i'm not any more , light weight browsers like Dillo are a constant battle with broken webpages and crap media/html5 support and Firefox wants tons of installs like GTK3 so i was left with the feeling i might as well just use Ubuntu.

I'd use tiny core if i needed a small boot disk but i couldn't use it as a daily driver.
 
Considering the amount of time they spend stripping down light weight distro's to make them small they then spend forever fixing and patching what they have broken , so i wonder if this idea that small distro's are more secure is really true considering security patches might not be working as intended if other parts are broken.
