If it has KDE then "kpackage" works with whatever system it's on, but I remember you said you were using Gnome and I don't know (but it probably has) the package manager for Gnome.

Ok, everything is up and running. I had to use the Synaptic manager as you noted to get some addons (hard trying to figure out what I needed, cryptic verbage) I needed but life I think is ok at the moment. Thanks for all the tidbits you guys gave, not necessarily on target but you got me close enough to fumble around and figure it out.

Next.... Sharing folders, backups, and just too much fun.
