A fork of the distribution, [[postmarketOS]], is designed to run on mobile devices.
== History ==
Originally, Alpine Linux began as a fork of the [[LEAF Project|LEAF projectProject]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://osdir.com/ml/linux.leaf.devel/2005-08/msg00039.html|title=linux.leaf.devel - Re: [leaf-devel] 2.6.x kernel support? - msg#00039 - Recent Discussion OSDir.com|publisher=}}</ref> The members of LEAF wanted to continue making a Linux distribution that could fit on a single floppy disk, whereas the Alpine Linux wished to include some more heavyweight packages such as [[Squid (software)|Squid]] and [[Samba (software)|Samba]], as well as additional security features and a newer kernel. One of the original goals was to create a framework for larger systems; although usable for this purpose, this is no longer a primary goal.{{citation needed|date=November 2015}}
