Re: the "synaptic package manager"

Actually, when you use the apt-get program on the command line, technically I believe you are using the "Debian packaging system", which created the apt-__ commands. This predates the synaptic software, which I'm pretty sure is the GUI that went on top of the pre-existing packaging system.

In other words, when the tutorial says that it is using the "command line version" of synaptic, that isn't quite true. But close enough that I'm leaving it alone for now.
