installing flash plugin may be a good example of synaptic, I guess
everyone uses flash. There seems to be masses of [apt-get] installation
references to non-free but non to adobe-flash. I had no success with
apturl [i think thats the name] though didn't dig too deep as is a non
brainer to install anyway, and I have vague memories of nonfree
generating some issues

That would be nice to know, it is quite difficult for us to get an
idea
of what can be the most overwhelming things for a new user, so any
hints
are very welcome!
