It was designed with security in mind; it has proactive security features like PaX and SSP that prevent security holes in the software to be exploited.

About

Alpine Linux is an independent, non-commercial, general purpose Linuxdistribution designed for power users who appreciate security, simplicityand resource efficiency.

Small

Alpine Linux is built around musl libc and busybox. This makes it smallerand more resource efficient than traditional GNU/Linux distributions. Acontainer requires no more than 8 MB and a minimal installation to diskrequires around 130 MB of storage. Not only do you get a fully-fledgedLinux environment but a large selection of packages from the repository.

Binary packages are thinned out and split, giving you even more controlover what you install, which in turn keeps your environment as small andefficient as possible.

Simple

Alpine Linux is a very simple distribution that will try to stay out ofyour way. It uses its own package manager called apk, the OpenRC initsystem, script driven set-ups and that’s it! This provides you with asimple, crystal-clear Linux environment without all the noise. You canthen add on top of that just the packages you need for your project, sowhether it’s building a home PVR, or an iSCSI storage controller, awafer-thin mail server container, or a rock-solid embedded switch, nothingelse will get in the way.

Secure

Alpine Linux was designed with security in mind. The kernel is patched withan unofficial port of grsecurity/PaX, and all userland binaries are compiled asPosition Independent Executables (PIE) with stack smashing protection.These proactive security features prevent exploitation of entire classesof zero-day and other vulnerabilities.
