DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #114 from D & E Radel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
:
Installing gnome-apt (although a little buggy) is A GREAT WAY TO
FIND OUT WHAT PACKAGES ARE AVAILABLE and install/remove them
with ease!
Newbie tip: Also I discovered that
apt-get remove [packagename]
works much better when there are dependancy problems than
dpkg -r [packagename]
