That's to help packagemakers to understand the structure of .debs files

Never before in my life have I witnessed such a program that is so solid and so elegant in its simplicity.

Seriously, I'm stunned. I'm going to recommend this program to all of my friends, I might even track down the source code and submit it to Apple and Msft as an example of the level of quality they should shoot for! I've been using it for the last hour and have not yet witnessed any degree of instability at all, let alone a crash.

It took 10,000,000 times longer to install it than it took to run.

If you want another cool program, just type "yes" in the terminal.

Not wishing to sound too picky, but when I request the "next generation" greeting, the right edge of the box doesn't line up:



+----------------+
| Hello, world! |
+----------------+


Also, after removing it via the package manager, the command "hello" now results in the following:


bash: /usr/bin/hello: No such file or directory

I have to restart the terminal! Two bugs in as many minutes! BROKEN! (Mind you, most things break when I go anywhere near them!)
