On a more serious note, how does updating apps on gentoo work? I understand that everything is built on your system, but then if the app is updated, do you need to re-compile every time?

    How many unix like operating systems are there? I thought it was just BSD and Linux. Then I heard about Plan 9. Now this. Next thing you know someone is going to find an operating system that is meant to run oil pumps or something and is going to install doom on it.

      Well, I could be wrong, but I think Unix (IRIX, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, Xenix, etc.) might also be Unix-like.

      MacOS is Unix like, but that’s because the kernel (Darwin) descends from BSD.
