I know this is a little off the normal mobile phone theme but I though it would be a good idea to show some of you linux fans how to use a really cool utility that is build into all Ubuntu installs. The program is callled apt-get or also known as aptitude. It is a package management system that allows you to install and remove programs from the aptitude database with ease.

Some of the more common commands for apt-get are as follows

apt-get install “program name here”

apt-get remove “program name here”

apt-get update (this basically updates the program library on your linux box)
