Seems a lot of hams use Debian vs. other Linux distros. Don't know if it
is a fact or just perception on my part.

We've all been when you are now. :-) If you know the package name and are
connected to the Net, just run 'apt-get install name-of-package'. It's a good
idea to run 'apt-get update' first. This way the system knows what the current
available packages are.
You can also use dselect to choose multiple packages. dselect's learning
curve is a little steep, but it makes sense after a bit. My personal
preference is to look through the /var/lib/dpkg/available file and use apt-get
directly. Oh yes, don't forget 'apt-get upgrade' to keep installed packages
current.

Never used capt.

This is a good sign. :-)
