# 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.

More coming soon.
