From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The first alias actually gave me some ideas, thanks for that. But I don't understand how is what you did is really different from alias ein='sudo emerge -av'. I think the only thing that is different is the way you do it ein abc def will be the same as ein abc, but why would you want this?

I just realized what you were asking lol. I’ve had a couple beers, sorry.

Your idea may work, I’ll have to try it.

The second one updates world, so you get a system update.
