What does that mean, anyway? Does it mean that apt is a disadvantage? Or
that apt is our only advantage? Or what?
I reckon breadth of software and quality of the overall system are the
advantages personally, as well as the free software emphasis. We have
thousands of open source programs properly integrated into our system,
something I don't believe any of the others have. rpmfind.net doesn't
even score a mention.
