It is designed to run firewalls and vpns from RAM but can also be used for ISCSI, vserver hosts, samba/nfs and others. during boot it installs all the needed packages to RAM. There is a local backup utility that helps to backup your /etc to USB memory together with the list of installed packages so get your configuration back. http://alpinelinux.org -nc
