As far as I am aware, Gentoo now supports something called prefix |
| 12 |
installations where you can use portage on top of (at least some of) |
| 13 |
the BSD's and Solaris and some old-school Unixes and other operating |
| 14 |
systems that aren't linux, the ~x86-linux keywords are to just signify |
| 15 |
that it's only being stabilised for linux, not any of the other |
| 16 |
operating systems. I could be wrong though. |
