Description: Utility for browsing, installing, and removing software
The Software Center lets you browse and install thousands of free applications
available for your System. You can view available software by category, or
search quickly by name or description. You can also examine the software
already installed, and remove items you no longer need.
To install or remove software using USC, you need administrator access on the
computer.

I am unable to understand.. Shall I simply keep using the synaptic package manager and forget software center?
