There's a bunch of them, especially around networking use cases. Alpine itself was a fork of another embedded Linux distro. One appeal of Minideb and a big reason why we developed it is that at the end of the day, it is still Debian and you have access to all the DEB packages out there, which tend to cover more ground and be more actively maintained than more niche Linux distros
- mst 9y agowiremine's question upthread as to how this compares to debian:stable-slim seems like it would benefit from an answer from you or another maintainer (assuming I correctly read the "we" in your comment)
- ridruejo 9y agoAs some other comment pointed out, we update it daily. When we started debian-slim was not an option for us, but it has caught in terms of size and features, so we will definitely take another look
