Re: [alpine-devel] Stable and Secure Distribution Supporting Xen
One more note on my criteria set which led me to Alpine: I need something lightweight. The whole root directory must fit in at most 400-500 MB.

My criteria are the following: - Compatibility: I want to use this OS on a various set of commonly used hardware. I have restricted the CPU instruction set scope to x86_64, but there are a vast range of graphics cards out there. - Stability: The packages and kernel used must be stable versions. Many main distributions such as Debian and RedHat follow his strategy. - Xen Stability: Stable Xen support is necessary - Security With these criteria in mind I have reached to the following distributions: NetBSD, Alpine Linux, FreeBSD, Debian and CentOS. I am currently using Alpine Linux which claims that it is designed with security in mind, however my recent Experience with it showed many bugs.
