If you think Debian has a tremendous amount of software, you should try
sunsite.unc.edu or tsx-11.mit.edu sometime.
Look how much Debian has compared to Slackware or RedHat, though. All of it
integrated with the Debian package manager.
I'm seriously thinking of going back to slackware.
I have been able to do it with the --force-badname in the adduser command.
