-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Jennifer,
Josh used the shorthand version of 'apt-get' which is the main package manager for Debian-based distros. To install a package you use 'apt-get install <package_name>'. To remove an application it's 'apt-get remove <package_name>', and to search the apt database for known packages it's 'apt-cache search <string>'. I don't know what Sarge's package names are for X, but you might try 'xorg-xserver' or 'xserver-xorg' or 'xorg-common' to get started.
