Re: [PLUG] Stuck in apt-get Debian


You may want to try "aptitude" out.  It's extremely nice (once you get use to 
it) for installing / updating Debian.

Makes it a joy to handle dependencies and search for packages.

And I'm not sure how long you have used Linux, so I'll recommend some apps :)


Media:
------

Apollen (file sharing)
GRiP (CD Ripper)
Juk (Mp3 player)
Gimp (photo editor)
Xine (media player)
K3B (cd burner)

Games:
------

FooBillards (Pool game)
Frozen Bubble (addictive)
FreeCiv (civ clone)
xbill (Just plain funny)
xsoldier (shoot em up)
bzflag (cool net tank game)
GTetrinet (tetris over net)
Teg (Risk)

Misc:
-----

Kontact (kmail, kweather, knewsticker, knode, korganizer, etc)
Gaim (ICQ, AIM, etc)
Kate (text editor)
Kword / OpenOffice

Well, that will get you started.  Enjoy :-)
