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.

No no, thats not what I meant. I mean just that I usually keep my eyes peeled for apps that do the same or a similar function as a redundancy backup plan type thing. Like I collect apps that do the same thing but maybe have slightly different or novel implementations cuz I dont want to be caught with my pants down when they wise up to whatever way I was getting the needful done
Lots of respect for what you're doing and it must be very difficult to try and ensure that level of compat. Hope you're kind to yourself about it all, thats alot, yo.
