Hi. use apt-get install aptitude This is the best tool under Debian for installing applications. If you haven't set up the source.list file in /etc/apt, then you can use: apt-setup This will set up the file for you. Once you have aptitude, then you can use the command: aptitude search <pattern> Replace <pattern> with what you are looking for.
