Reviewers Anonymous take a spin of Alpine and contrast it with antiX
On a whim, I gave alpine a try. I wanted to see if I could get a nice minimal desktop going similar to what Antix-23-runit has done on another (matching in specs) PC. It was rough going at first, but I was able to install the setup-xorg package and the herbstluftwm from their repos but could not get access to the xserver (most likely the elogind thing, which was not installed on the bare system).
