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.
