| Consider the best update system for any operating system around – the one
| used by Linux. Yes, here’s my Linux blast: almost every single application

| all work in different ways, at different times. Instead, the Linux
| repositories allow you to keep every piece of code on your system up-to-date
| with the one single action. It’s clean, it’s understandable and it’s
| consistent.
