Debian package of the Day

A new blog from the Debian project promises to show you one Debian package in depth each day. For the uninitiated, Debian's "packages" are like Windows installer executables or MSI packages, only Debian packages are smart enough to trace and download any other packages they rely upon to function.

Each package profiled by Debian Package of the Day is accompanied by an "elaborate description" and screenshots, so you can gain a pretty good idea of what you're installing before you pull the trigger. There are way too many Debian packages available to keep track of; We wish DPotD the best of luck in cataloging the high points.
