GNOME-APT

NAME

gnome-apt − graphical package management program

SYNOPSIS

gnome-apt [options]

DESCRIPTION

gnome-apt is a package manager for Debian with a Gnome front-end. It provides the same functionality as the apt-get command line utility. gnome-apt allows you to easily upgrade your Debian system, as well as install and uninstall packages using any of the methods that apt supports (http, ftp, file). Eventually gnome-apt will have online help available from within the program. (But right now it doesn’t.)
