As I said before the killer application of Debian Gnu/Linux is aptitude.
I can install thousands of applications, keep all of them up-to-date
including security updates, etc.

Bah!

Real Men use apt-get. (Traditionalists use dselect.)

Even if the functionality of each individual package could be achieved
with other OSes, installation, security, and maintainence of a large
number of applications is unparalleled.

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
