Have we published any comparisons of an Alpine image "fully loaded" (e.g., with the actual tools) vs. Fedora, etc.? AIUI, when you actually install things like Apache httpd, or whatnot the comparison looks much closer.
I hacked up some quick Dockerfiles for this particular example (httpd) and the end result is that alpine was still smaller - 8.652 MB vs. 232.8 MB

As this is just one example, it would still be interesting to see how other apps compare.
