Hi Mike. I'm an apt-cache user on the command line; however, I'd like to find a replacement to it. I've been trying synaptics and for the first time I'm happy with a graphical frontend to apt-get.
Searches in synaptic do not provide the same results as in apt-cache; I found out that the reason is that the 'find' function is case sensitive. Just my 2(Euro)cents. Thanks for such a nice tool!
