<h2 id="package-management-and-installation">Package management and installation</h2> <p>Information on features in the distributions. Package numbers are only approximate. Some distributions like Debian tend to separate tools into different packages – usually stable release, development release, documentation and debug. Also counting the source package number varies. For debian and rpm based entries it is just the base to produce binary packages, so the total number of packages is the number of binary packages. For Arch based entries, it is additional. </p> <table><tbody><tr><th>Distribution</th><th>Free software repositories</th><th>Approximate number of pre-compiled <a
