There is no LLM output included in the base system or main package repository (<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https://wiki.alpinebsd.org/ai-policy\">AlpineBSD AI policy</a>).</p>\n<p><strong>AlpineBSD is a work in progress</strong>. There is currently no installer available. For the adventurous, a very high-level installation guide <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https://wiki.alpinebsd.org/installation\">is available here</a>.</p>\n<h2>Compared to NetBSD</h2>\n<p>AlpineBSD ships the NetBSD kernel, libc, and essential platform-specific tools like <code>mount</code>.</p>\n<p><strong>NOTICE</strong>: The NetBSD kernel has spotty hardware support, much less so than Linux. You cannot necessarily expect AlpineBSD to work on any random computer you have lying around. Consult <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https://wiki.netbsd.org/laptops/\">the NetBSD supported hardware list</a> for more information, particularly for laptops.</p>\n<h2>Compared to Alpine Linux</h2>\n<p>AlpineBSD ships with the apk-tools package manager and busybox, and a slightly more GNU-oriented userspace, preferring e.g. GNU make over BSD make. AlpineBSD is not a fork of Alpine Linux, its package collection is original (though many packages are ultimately based on aports).</p>\n<p>Alpine Linux uses the OpenRC init system. Currently, AlpineBSD uses <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https://skarnet.org/software/s6-frontend/overview.html\">s6</a> and we intend to add OpenRC as an alternative.</p>\n",
