As a matter of fact, I'm booted into Tiny Core right now because the hard drive with my Arch Linux installation recently crashed and I haven't replaced it yet. I've have Tiny Core installs laying around all over the place here, so I'm using it in the meantime. I have Leo running in this linux environment, so it should also work in arc.io. Tiny Core doesn't have a huge selection of packages in its repository, but it has enough to run Leo. You just have to install the pyqt.tcz package (all the dependencies such as python and qt are automatically followed) and download and run leo. One additional package is needed in order to prevent the viewrendered plugin from throwing an error at startup. The error complains about missing qtsvg.so file. This missing file is contained in the qt-4.x-extended.tcz package which is not listed as a dependency of pyqt.tcz. So in Tiny Core, the steps to running Leo are (haven't tested this from scratch so maybe I'm missing something, but it should be close): tce-load -i pyqt.tcz tce-load -i qt-4.x-extended.tcz wget http://www.greygreen.org/leo/leo-editor-latest.zip unzip leo-editor-latest.zip python leo-editor-latest/launchLeo.py So it would be easy to setup a recipe for Leo, but arc.io would really have to take off for it to be worthwhile. Installing arc causes VirtualBox to be installed and that requires admin rights and that seems like a big hurdle to me. Maybe not. If installing arc.io is easier than installing Leo, then it could be worthwhile. But for now arc.io is only available on Mac, so I'm unable to even play with it right now.
