This is really cool.  What other OS has/can do/done this??  At least on
such a scale?  Oh wait no other OS 'vendor' offers so many packages. . .

Does Redhat, OSX, Fink..?

New Popularity Contest. Bill Allombert [32]announced
[33]popcon.debian.org that contains package usage statistics. If you
want the survey to include information about the software used on your
own machines, simply install the [34]popularity-contest package. Among
other things, the results are used to decide which packages should go
on the installer CD instead of on supplementary discs.
