There are no differences in practice, it's a semantic thing. Portage used "emerge world" from the very beginning (lifted from FreeBSD ports) and it's still supported today even though technically and semantically "emerge @world" is more correct - world is at heart a set. It's mentioned in one of portage's man pages, IIRC in emerge (1) but right now I don't have the inclination to look. That is left as an exercise for the interested reader. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
