As I said before the killer application of Debian Gnu/Linux is aptitude.
I can install thousands of applications, keep all of them up-to-date
including security updates, etc.
Even if the functionality of each individual package could be achieved
with other OSes, installation, security, and maintainence of a large
number of applications is unparalleled.
