very simple apt-get question.

[VeeDubb]

Where can I find a list of the apps available via apt-get with a brief description of each?

[Stephen]

You could install synaptic and use it view the package descriptions.

apt-cache search *

[Stephen]

apt-cache search *

I just tried that and it didn't work however apt-cache search l or whatever letter it outputs all kinds of packages so I would put a | less on the end of the command.
