packages on your system.
 |
just wondering for no particular reason if my linux box has less or more packages and commands then most (I'm guessing less). Heres my results:
packages (on arch linux probably not a very good way to determine anything):
238
commands:
1169 as root and 1168 as a normal user.
du:
1.536732 gb

apt-cache search e >& file (e is the most common letter in the english language) Then open it up in emacs and M-> "Hey ass, don't hijack my thread. This is serious." -JoshSCH

Probably a better (untested) method for calculating number of installed packages on Debian-based systems would be
Minus 5.
dpkg -l | wc -l
