Alpine Linux 3.18 fixes DNS over TCP issue, now ready for all the internet's problems
third of the Linux market. On the other hand, if you're deploying containers on top, it makes less difference, and if it does what you need, using the much smaller Alpine image could save you a lot of space., we used the same machine: a 2008 Thinkpad W500, with a Core 2 Duo, and maxed out with 8GB of RAM. Although we don't use that machine a lot, Alpine even survived being shrunk and set to dual-boot, which is not something it supports out of the box.
We updated that installation to 3.17 when we looked at Haiku, and now we've dug the machine out and updated it again. The upgrade to 3.18 went perfectly smoothly. Then, to test out the documentation as much as anything else, we added Network Manager – connecting to a new Wi-Fi network from the command line was not a trivial exercise, but it's all described – then installed AMD Radeon drivers and enabled the machine's discrete GPU. Nothing broke and it works better than ever.
We also did a clean install alongside Windows XP on our geriatric Sony Vaio P, a 32-bit Intel Atom-based VGN-P11Z. Getting the custom partitioning right was significantly complicated, but again, everything worked. It picks up the onboard Wi-Fi, which Alpine 3.17 could not, drives the Poulsbo GPU reasonably well, and uses as little memory with Xfce asAlpine Linux remains a tiny gem of a distro. It's a pleasure to see kernel 6.1.28 running quickly and smoothly on an Atom.
