Alpine Linux for WSL
Since Microsoft has implemented WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) it is possible to run a Linux distro on top of Windows without a hypervisor.
Ubuntu, openSUSE, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, Debian and Kali Linux have all made a WSL package.
I thought it might be interest to make a WSL version of Alpine Linux.
