Comprehensive is an understatement with google.  Irrelevant applies to 
the great majority of the responses however and it requires very 
creative word list in the advanced searches to narrow the responses down 
to a relevent and usable number.

I believe "Comprehensive, Relevant, and Current for each distro" is what 
is needed here and AFAIK there is none at present.

I second the request for a comprehensive list.  I am an experienced 
user, with many years of using the RedHat/Fedora distribution, but I 
probably do not know even half of all the tools avialable. I would 
expect this is the same with most users, although the list of tools 
known will vary with needs, usage, and experience.
