i was merely pointing out these tools inc ase you didn't know about
them. apt-cache search allows you to search packages for your keyword
in the name or description. apt-cache show will show you the
description of a particular package. It seemed that most of your
question could have been answered by this. merely trying to be
helpful.
I didn't want to be rude here, my apologies if it sounded that way. I
certainly appreciate the help, I'll keep apt-cache search/show handy
now. Thanks a ton.
