### 1、Tiny Core


![Tiny Core](/data/attachment/album/202305/10/173705swj2t2j2xw6y770y.png)


[Tiny Core](http://tinycorelinux.net/?ref=itsfoss.com)，又名 The Core x86 Project，是一款模块化的 Linux 发行版，提供了几种变体的超小型 ISO 文件。


其中最小的是 “**Core**” 版（**17 MB**），只提供命令行界面和一些工具，没有任何图形桌面环境。其次是 **TinyCore**（**23 MB**），它包括基本系统和图形桌面环境的 GUI 扩展。


最后一个，**CorePlus ISO**（**248 MB**）是为新用户量身定制的，它支持无线网络、提供可选的多种窗口管理器，以及一些来帮助安装发行版的其他 GUI 工具。


该发行版的大小多年来一直在增长。但是，它仍然令人印象深刻。


### 2、Puppy Linux


![Puppy Linux](/data/attachment/album/202305/10/173706u0h08s4pa88xz298.jpg)


[Puppy Linux](https://puppylinux-woof-ce.github.io/?ref=itsfoss.com) 是一个因其文件大小极小和易用性而广受欢迎的 Linux 发行版。它是本列表中最古老的选项，起源可以追溯到 **2003** 年。


其 ISO 文件大小为 300-400 MB，具体取决于你选择的变体。


是的，Puppy Linux 不是单个 Linux 发行版。该项目使用其他发行版，并使用其系统构建器重建它们，添加其应用并进行配置，以使 ISO 最终的大小通常小于 500 MB。


你能找到 **Ubuntu、Raspbian 和 Slackware 的 Puppy Linux 变体，包括 32 位和 64 位版本。**


### 3、SliTaz

而所有这些都放在只有 **43MB** 的 ISO 中。令人惊讶，对吧！与 TinyCore 不同，你可以得到图形用户界面，同时节省大量存储空间。


SliTaz 完全是从头开始构建的，因此它一款独立发行版。它可能不适合初学者，但它确实包含一些实用程序，可帮助你安装必备软件，并以最小的学习曲线入门。

The variety of Linux distributions available is not a disadvantage but a helpful trait.

There is something for everyone. And here, we want to address the options tailored for users who wish to run Linux on dated hardware and systems with shallow storage space.

Or maybe, you want the operating system to occupy the least space while you can carry out specific tasks on your computer?

So, let me highlight some super lightweight Linux distros for such use cases.

## 1. Tiny Core

![tiny core linux](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/04/tiny-core-linux.png)

[Tiny Core](http://tinycorelinux.net), aka The Core x86 Project, is a modular Linux distribution offering different super small ISO files featuring the distro variants.

The smallest is the "**Core**" edition (**17 MB**), which provides a command line interface and some tools without any graphical desktop environment. The second is **TinyCore** (**23 MB**), which includes the base system and GUI extensions for a graphical desktop environment.

Ultimately, a **CorePlus ISO** (**248 MB**) is tailored for new users, with support for wireless networks, a choice for window managers, and some other GUI tools to help install the distro.

The size of the distro has grown over the years. However, it is still something impressive.

## 2. Puppy Linux

![puppy linux screenshot](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/04/puppy-linux.jpg)

[Puppy Linux](https://puppylinux-woof-ce.github.io) is a popular name known for its minimal file size and ease of use. It is the oldest option in this list here, all the way back from **2003**.

The ISO file sizes range from 300-400 MB, depending on your chosen variant.

Yes, Puppy Linux is not a single Linux distro. The project uses other distros and rebuilds them using its system builder, adds its applications, and configures so that the ISO usually ends up less than 500 MB in size.

You can find puppy variants of **Ubuntu, Raspbian, and Slackware in 32-bit and 64-bit editions.**

## 3. SliTaz

![slitaz](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/04/slitaz.jpg)

[SliTaz](https://www.slitaz.org/en/) is an interesting [rolling-release distribution](https://itsfoss.com/rolling-release/) with all the essentials for a usable desktop experience.

All of this is in just **43 MB** ISO. Surprising, isn't it? Unlike TinyCore, you get a GUI while saving much storage space.

It is entirely built from scratch, making it an independent distribution. SliTaz may not be suitable for beginners, but it does include utilities that help you install the essentials and get started with a minimal learning curve.

The ISO size is less than 900 MB. So, yes, it may not be the lightest among the alternatives, but you cannot go wrong if you do not want to compromise your experience.

## 5. AntiX Linux

![antix screenshot](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/04/antix.jpg)

[AntiX Linux](https://antixlinux.com) is built on top of Debian's stable branch. It is one of the [distros that support 32-bit systems](https://itsfoss.com/32-bit-linux-distributions/).

It offers different variants that include: **Full, Base, Core, and net**. The full version is a little over 1 GB, packed with many pre-installed applications. The base is around 800 MB with a GUI (window manager).

The other editions do not offer a GUI, which is less than 500 MB.

If you did not know, AntiX Linux supports two different init systems SysVinit or runit. So, AntiX Linux is one of the [Systemd-free distros](https://itsfoss.com/systemd-free-distros/) as well.
