Alpine Linux: History & Measurement

Alpine Linux is a Linux distribution "designed for power users who appreciate security, simplicity and resource efficiency". It uses musl, BusyBox, and OpenRC instead of glibc, GNU Core Utilities, and systemd, respectively. This makes Alpine one of the few Linux distributions not to be based on systemd. For security, Alpine compiles all user-space…
