42 <p>Grml provides more than 2500 software packages. Excluding library
43 stuff, more than 1700 packages remain. We don't ship KDE and
44 OpenOffice, but more than 800 packages which for example Knoppix does
45 not provide. You'll get <strong>sysadmin's favourite tools</strong>,
46 security- and network-related software, data recovery- and
47 forensic-tools, many editors, shells, and of course many
48 texttools. Choose between different flavours (grml, grml-medium and
49 grml-small) and a x86 and a amd64 version depending on your needs.</p>
