Dwayne, Tomsrtbt is the first "Tiny" Linux I used. Great to run fsck and recover passwords back in the day! That is nostalgia!
Excellent article Seth. As I commented above, it got me all nostalgic about Tomsrtbt, which was the first and perhaps original Tiny Linux. It fit on a single floppy and was useful for password recovery, file system repair and other general stuff.
