User Pentium44 on Lowendtalk offered the community to test out the Freebox VPS‘es. Earlier there were two options:
Tiny VM Specs:
CPU: .25 Xeon E5649 core
RAM: 384MB,
Vdisk: 25GB,
KVM Debian 7.11.0
Micro VM Specs:
CPU: .10 Xeon E5649 core
RAM: 32MB,
Vdisk: 5GB,
KVM SliTaz 2.0
I had opted for the slit version, but Pentium44 decided to create a uniform set of specs-
OS: Alpine Linux (current)
RAM: 128MB dedicated
CPU: 25% of 1 Xeon E5649 core
Vdisk: 10GB
Qemu KVM emulation
Alpine Linux Wiki
Alpine Linux has a rather well documented wiki
There was a time when I used to think alpine Linux was derived from arch linux, so my first step was to type
sudo pacman....
which of course did not work, had to look up the Alpine Linux package management page. Other than the un-learning and re-learning which was rather quick, not too much to complain with alpine.
The below test results are from the ‘Alipne’ setup.
