Re: "Has anyone seen a linux logfile viewer that tails a file,..."
the base is smaller than it is usually in case of linux distributions. but well, not as small as in case of alpine?
and when you add software, you get all the deps, similar to linux.
the only and more efficient way to fine tune dependencies of programs in automated way is, afaik, gentoo linux. its minimal system isn't as small as alpine's, but later one can build really custom system by choosing functionality of each program/lib and thus dependencies.
even 20 years ago using gentoo was easier for me than debian or freebsd: by using my own so called 'use flags' and compiling software in my way i was able to save traffic and get less deps much faster, which was a big deal on dial-up.

Has anyone seen a linux logfile viewer that tails a file, showing the age of each log entry with a color? That is, new lines could be red and slowly turn blue (a heat map). That way you can tell, at a glance when a line was printed, as well as the relative time distance between printed lines over the period of interest... All I could find was colorization based on the log itself (errors marked red, etc)...
