Re: slitaz, alpine, uclibc and others

Hi, 

Interesting. BTW, we do have a Slitaz uClibc toolchain (not from sources though) http://hg.slitaz.org/wok/rev/8da46cc14f57 . Some preliminary work for ARM port uses it: http://labs.slitaz.org/wiki/arm

Have anyone tried Alpine Linux (http://www.alpinelinux.org/)? I used it for about a week and found it a real competitor to slitaz.

Its killer-feature is uClibc - it decreases ram and hdd usage a lot. XFCE desktop in 39 Mb? Not a problem for it (http://kmandla.wordpress.com/2010/12/02/also-not-a-joke-xfce-on-39mb/)

So I have two questions - anyone interested in uClibc spin or fork?

And how to build new slitaz toolchain?

With best regards, Alexander.
