The duplications annoys me too, as does perhaps the fact that it the "Solaris 8" it uses as a lowest common denominator is a bit long in the teeth. E.g., when it comes to Solaris x86 Solaris 8 misses all kinds of features like SSE/SSE2 support which makes it impossible to optimize for modern CPUs. But that is a small failing which can be addressed by looking into a versioning system which could support multiple releases. > Debian is a well integrated systems, without duplication of > software, with a great packaging system, 100% free, with loads of > ready to use software, hundreds and hundreds of active developers, > dozens of derived distributions, government implantation, etc..

A great packaging system isn't so great if it means that there's a second parallel packaging system and two different commands to use to remove packages.
