I have been using Gentoo for more than 2 years now and have always wondered (but never asked - That's the "dumb" part) how Gentoo manages to update a package that happens to be running at the time.
Given that the old version (the one running) is deleted, how does it manage to keep standing if you just cut its legs off? I've never seen this discussed anywhere which probably means everyone else already knows and are probably thinking to themselves, "Dumb question."
