I think the most important thing to remember is piCore is not your
normal Lunix distribution.
It is:
- stripped bare, lots of things are missing or minimal versions of
commands (BusyBox)
- runs in RAM, your edits may disappear
- lots of loop mounted readonly extensions
For example, there is no bash, no python, no compiling tools loaded by
default. piCore does have sh, micropython though.
piCorePlayer is 98% basic sh scripts.
LMS is mainly perl.
Jivelite is mainly lua.
HTML is used in most web GUI's.
