Welcome to the TLVC wiki!

A collection of important reference documents for the development, history and usage of TLVC.

We're just getting started - want to contribute? Knock yourself out! Even reporting spelling errors is a contribution.

Take a close look at the content list on the right - you might find exactly what you're looking for. If you don't, leave a note. Maybe it's in the works. Maybe it's not on the list and should be.

Caveat: TLVC is 'work in progress'. Things change constantly, which inevitably means that some times the examples in the documentation don't match reality. Such discrepancies are a fact of life - unavoidable but still errors. Please report (or fix!) if/when you encounter them.

What's in the Name?

TLVC? Why not something that could at least be pronounced? I asked myself the same question numerous times before landing on just TLVC. And I pondered a number of alternatives. Like SLIM ('Small Linux for Intel Machines' or 'Small Linux for IA16 Machines' if you like), SLAM (Small Linux for Ancient Machines), SLAP (just guess) and a few others. But TLVC stuck, maybe because I'm just too lazy to do the renaming all over again. It's quite a bit of work.

Still, opinions and ideas are welcome.
