Well you will be pleasantly suprised once you get used to it (dpkg/apt are head and shoulders above rpm :-). man dpkg man apt-get man apt-cache <http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-pkg_basics.html> dpkg -i ........... <installs package> dpkg -r .......... <removes package> dpkg --purge..... <obvious> apt-get update .......<update your sources.list> apt-get install foo.i386.deb ..........<retrieves/installs foo> Then there's dselect, but that's an entirely different thread 8^).
