# Alpine Linux
|
|||
|
|
I heard you like extra light distributions, right? Alpine is **the**
|
|||
|
|
distribution you will love then! Although I used it once on a server,
|
|||
|
|
I use it very often when I have to create Docker images and containers
|
|||
|
|
due to how light it is. When I installed it on my server, its fresh
|
|||
|
|
install only took something like 100MB on my hard drive, I’m not even
|
|||
|
|
kidding! Its package manager `apk` is relatively easy to use too. Be
|
|||
|
|
aware though Alpine Linux does not come with Systemd or `glibc` but
|
|||
|
|
with its own init system, `musl` and `busybox`, so it’s not even a
|
|||
|
|
GNU/Linux distribution like all the others above.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I don’t know of any madman running it as their daily driver, but it’s
|
|||
|
|
definitively possible although I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone
|
|||
|
|
that’s not very used to Linux. I don’t find its documentation to be
|
|||
|
|
great either, but it’s still enjoyable.
