TinyMe test 7 is now available!

TinyMe is a PCLinuxOS-based distribution which is targeted at older computers and people who want a very light and fast desktop environment. It runs Openbox for the window manager, LXPanel for the panel, Nitrogen sets the wallpaper, and iDesk provides the icons.

There is are two control centers in TinyMe, one for managing your desktop and one for configuring your system. TinyMe comes as a small, 200MB ISO, yet provides tools for most all of your everyday wants and needs: Web browsing, E-Mail, Word Processing, Audio Player, Photo Viewer and Digital Camera application, PDF viewer, Text Editor, FTP client, and even Gweled, a game.
