Which Linux distribution is the most powerful?
Mr Bad asks:
So, after seeing the umpteenth Debian package description mentioning what a powerful throbbing ur-package is barely contained within the bulging envelope of this particular .deb, I started wondering: how much of the software in Debian is actually POWERFUL? Like, so notably powerful that that's how you'd describe the software; it impresses its powerful powerness on the maintainer that much that they can't help mentioning its power.
A quick look at sid:
evan unicorn:~% apt-cache search powerful | wc -l
586
Almost 600 powerful packages is a lot of power, and I'd be afraid to install even one-tenth of those packages to my computer. Sixty mighty and powerful packages jockeying for full domination of my little ThinkPad? No way. I can't handle that kind of power. [more]
