I'm a terminal emulation user, I e.g. prefer cd, ls etc. to file managers, but IMO Synaptic, a GUI for the package management, often has a lot of advantages, e.g. a history, searches and package descriptions by mouse etc.. It's similar to Smart and far away from Yast. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
