Hello!

Hello,

I am new to the #! scene. I have been prowling the boards for awhile, reading all the useful information I can find.   I'm a long time Linux user (started with Slackware and some 3.5" floppy disks), and love the simplicity of crunchbang.   I'm not very apt-get savvy, but there's nothing a little reading can't solve, right?

Anyway, hope to get to know everyone a little better and maybe enjoy my favorite hobby along the way.

Re: Hello!

Hallow and welcome to the best Crunchbang forums ever.

In this city.

The best resource for apt is the Debian wiki, and of course ours

Re: Hello!

Yo, welcome aboard.  Coming from Slackware I think that #! will be a breeze.  There's a little getting used to, but it's just because all the packaging stuff is managed for you by dpkg and apt.

Critical ones to know are:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install pckgnamehere anotherpckgnamehere morenameshere
apt-get remove pckgname another andanother

All dependencies are automatically resolved for you though, so you can just do

apt-get install gimp

and it will install everything else you need for that.

and to get info about installed package versions

apt-cache policy pckgname

I rarely ever use anything else, but I don't mess with mixing versions.
