[GLLUG] Kubuntu package management

[Nathan Hartley]

Found the following here: 
 http://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/kubuntu/desktopguide/C/extra-repositories.html

"To organize the software, Kubuntu repositories are categorized into four
groups: Main, Restricted, Universe, and Multiverse.

The rationale used to determine which software goes into which category is
based on two factors:
    * The level of support software development teams provide for a program
    * The level of compliance the program has to the Free Software
Philosophy

You can find more information about the Repositories available on the Ubuntu
website, http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components.

The standard Kubuntu Install CD contains some software from the Main and
Restricted categories. Once your system is made aware of the Internet-based
locations for these repositories, many more programs are made available for
installation. Using the software package management tools already installed
on your system, you can search for, install and update any piece of software
directly over the Internet, without the need for the CD."

ok I'v installed kubuntu "dapper" on a computer I've figured out the basic
use of adept... however I've had some problems... like not being able to
find certain packages I anticipate finding. like mplayer. also how do I
start the ssh daemon so I can remotely manage these packages... julie is
using this computer so it's a pain to leave mine to try to play with it.
