Alpine Linux是由社区开发的操作系统，它面向x86路由器、防火墙、虚拟专用网、IP电话盒及服务器而设计。它在设计时就贯彻了安的理念，包含了一些主动安全特性如PaX和SSP，它们能防止软件中的漏洞被敌手加以利用。该系统采用的C语言库是uClibc，基础工具则都在BusyBox中。它们在嵌入式系统中很常见，它们比GNU/Linux系统中的工具要小。
Jeff Bilyk has announced the release of Alpine Linux 2.1.5, a small distribution designed for x86 routers, firewalls, VPNs, VoIP boxes and servers: "We are pleased to announce the Alpine Linux 2.1.5 release. This release includes an update to use 2.6.35.11-based kernels. Various packages have bug fixes from upstream. Among these are Asterisk 1.8.3, Samba 3.5.8, Dovecot 2.0.11, BIND 9.7.3 and OpenSSL 1.0.0d. The package manager has fixes that solve issues when upgrading to edge. Important note when upgrading from version 1.10: the 2.0 series introduces an ABI-incompatible version of uClibc with NPTL threading support. This means that you cannot mix packages from older releases with 2.0. To upgrade you will need to make sure that you only have 2.0 repositories in your /etc/apk/repositories list."
