For the debian command line user, what spreadsheet package comes equipped with the most functions?
I'm not sure that "command line user" and "spreadsheet" should be uttered in the same sentence. :) Be that as it may, spreadsheets traditionally are graphical at least in how they are presented. There is/was a spreadsheet program that could be run in a non-graphical mode, called "sc" and it still may be available. I tinkered with it in my early days with Linux when there wasn't a lot of this sort of thing available. ISTR that with "sc" you could pipe things through it as well as operate it in a more "traditional" spreadsheet manner. If you're a typical command line user, you might just have your data stored in flat ascii files, and as long as the data are stored that way, you can use the unix tools that are already there (awk, perl, "join" (for putting columns together) and so on) to do the calculations you require.
