DebAWeek on Ubuntu Magnet

In the tradition of Debian Package a Day (defunct) and Debian Package of the Day (active) I will present detailed information about 1 package every week. I figure this is a little more sustainable and a little less overwhelming than trying to write an informative article each day about a particular package.

The packages selected will contain both command line tools and graphical programs. Some will be more useful for server systems and others will be more appropriate for desktop use. There should be a wide variety of packages that will hopefully enhance people’s education about what is out there. With almost 24,000 packages (binary not source) in the upcoming Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) it’s useful for people to discuss what packages they use and why to make the most of such a large software repository.
