Hi All,

Hope that everyone is doing well today.

I have been in the Linux world for many years now (as well as of course the
Windows world too) and am working on a PoC project focused on minimization.

In the past, I have used many different Linux distros but have mainly used
Ubuntu & Debian although have heard a little about Alpine Linux although
have not really used it much. As I am gearing up for a PoC project and
think that Alpine Linux might be a good base to use since it is not as
bloated as the other full distros which I do not need for this project.

With this in mind, the idea that I am considering is to have a ultra-small
RAM-based bootable ISO version of Alpine Linux that has Xen as the
hypervisor and Alpine as the Dom0 Control Domain.

In looking at the Alphe Linux Downloads section (
https://alpinelinux.org/downloads/), it seems that my idea would be a
combination of the Virtual (for small size) and Xen (for hypervisor) to
keep everything as absolutely small as possible.

I wanted to get your thoughts on this as someone may have better ideas.
Best Regards and have a great day,
Lonnie
