You must be in a flaming mood, but I'll pass.

But, I will say, when there may be a variety of tools available to do a 
given job, it's likely the one best suited to your needs may not have 
been installed by default.  So, if you want to know what packages might 
be useful to the task at hand, you're best off using a search tool that 
looks at the entire package base rather than one that just looks at 
what you have installed (e.g. "apt-cache search" vs. "man -k").
