No it isn't. TinyLinux is based on SuSE 6.4.
See: http://tinylinux.sourceforge.net/

Perhaps you are thinking of Tiny Linux. That one is
based on Slackware Linux 4.0.
See: http://tiny.seul.org/en/

In my humble opinion, BasicLinux is a better choice for old PCs
than TinyLinux or Tiny Linux.

BasicLinux 1.x (kernel: 2.0.x, libc5) runs on
a 386 with 4MB of RAM. It is based on Slackware Linux 3.5.

BasicLinux 2.x (kernel: 2.2.x, libc6 (a.k.a. glibc2)) runs on
a 486 with 8MB of RAM. It is based on Slackware Linux 7.1.
