This doesn't give any information about the quantity of software available from upstream, since Debian does split the software from upstream to several packages. some distros don't do this, so a distro might provide less packages, but could provide more software. However, IIUC http://debian-handbook.info/browse/wheezy/sect.apt-cache.html apt-get update apt-cache pkgnames > file.txt cat -n file.txt I'm not sure if the packages are list by a new line for each package, I'm not booted to Debian at the moment. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
