Currently, installing alpine results in a new wsl.exe --list --verbose entry named Alpine.

Using release 3.1.5.0, for example:

PS> Invoke-WebRequest https://github.com/yuk7/AlpineWSL/releases/download/3.15.0-0/Alpine.zip -out Alpine.zip

PS> Expand-Archive Alpine.zip

PS> cd Alpine

PS> .\Alpine.exe
Using: .\rootfs.tar.gz
Installing...
Installation complete
Press enter to continue...

PS> wsl.exe --list --verbose
  NAME                   STATE           VERSION
  Alpine                 Stopped         2
  ...

I would like to be able to install Alpine releases "side by side". However, I presume they will both use WSL entry name Alpine (and overwrite the other). Also, having the Alpine version as part of the WSL name is informative.

I would prefer

PS> wsl.exe --list --verbose
  NAME                   STATE           VERSION
  Alpine-3.15.0-0        Stopped         2
  ...
