Hey that's cool, why not put this list on a Wiki somewhere and
post a link back here?
a) maybe someone(s) will help decipher that list for you
b) Klaus and others have another guideline to review when
considering how to label things in the future

Put them on a Wiki and encourage other people to help you.

I believe it's based on Debian too... aside from being based on
linux. No big deal. Eventually anyone using any linux will need
to use basic tools like CVS and gcc if they want the latest and
greatest of any software. The "big deal" is that you/they can,
with other non-open systems this ability is forever beyond reach.

20 years ago, the unix savvy elite drove around in Porches after
spending 5 years at university. Nowadays it's "just another OS"
available to everyone... life is wonderful, enjoy the challenge.
