+# fases - Ferass' Base System
+
+*Simple coreutils for a fully functionnal UNIX-like system*
+
+[« Go back](../README.md)
+
+## FAQ
+
+Here are questions someone could ask. Read it! It could answer some of your
+questions.
+
+Q: Why another coreutils? There's already GNU, Busybox, OpenBSD's, and some more.
+
+A: Most coreutils are either non-POSIX or use non-portable functions not
+specified by POSIX. The `fases` project separates POSIX and non-POSIX
+utilities while others do not. Some have also quite complex code, making it
+harder to study the code.
+
+[We're not trying to trash other coreutils. A lot of them
+(Busybox, OpenBSD, ...) are actually really good]
+
+Q: Is fases going to work on <insert UNIX-like operating system name here>?
+
+A: Well, it depends on the system itself. If your system implements POSIX
+functions in its libc, then it'll work. Utilities are currently tested on
+- OpenBSD ;
+
+- FreeBSD ;
+
+- OS X/Mac OS X/MacOS (just a little) ;
+
+- Artix Linux and Arch Linux ;
+
+- Alpine Linux.
+
+No. `fases` will never work on Microsoft Windows.
