Almost an hour over my average time, but it sure felt good to get this one! Felt difficult but fair. No cheap feeling clues to anger me. A bit embarrassed at how long I was happy to leave POTHERE up there like it meant something...

@IL Certainly technically correct in that an Operating Sysytem (OS) is technically software. But I'd argue the usage of the wording "software package" has this clue leaning towards incorrect. Colloquially, a software package is something installed *within* the OS, and a DISTRO is a particular variant of the OS itself. No one refers to DISTROS as "software packages". When I first read the clue I thought we were going full Linux and I penciled in TARBALL, but alas DISTROS threw me for longer than I'd care to admit.

@Ken Burk Yes! I actually would have loved the clueing "One of 31 in the NFL". That would have been a kind of clever way to test someone's trivia knowledge. Even understanding co-owners are a thing I think that would have made more sense considering the Packers quite literally do not have an owner making 32 a factually incorrect clue no matter how you interpret it.
