i’m currently building a bare-bones LAMP server using ubuntu 5.04. so today i’ve been getting to grips with apt:-

to enable all the ubuntu manged repositories:-

edit /etc/apt/sources.list - uncomment all the commented out URL’s

to search for a package:-

apt-cache search whatever

to install:-

apt-get install whatever

update: you can now use aptitude instead of apt-get. apt-whatever etc
