Debian Knowledge Base ?
re: a place to search for software
What I think would be helpful would be a Keyword search which then provided
the title and link for results; on the order of the <gasp!> MSKB. That way,
when you searched on kernel you'd come up with 'make-kpkg' in a couple of
locations. I responded to RMS on his article on the need for "free
documentation" as well as "free software" (as the maillist is testament to,
it's darned hard to use the second without the first), and he suggested I
write it (I knew this was a risk when writing him <g>). Keywords of "sound
software" would bring up titles and links.
Anyway, this would be a job involving Tcl/Tk, HTML, and PostGreSQL, at the
least, and I don't know any of them (want it on FoxPro using x-Works? no
problem...). Still, the need is there.

Perhaps there should be something on the debian site - where to find other
software (including examples such as the above - i.e. packages recommended
by debian users), and guidelines for installing them.
